Don't use this company. The guy is a fraud and owning money to a lot of people, including me. His office is not existing anymore at Vagar airport. Locals told me that he was kicked out for bad business practices. His business is set to be dissolved by the end of the year but he is still renting cars over his website while selling the cars off on second hand websites. What a douche...

Hi everyone, if someone has already answered this before then I'd love to see the thread, but if not:

I am staying in faroe islands for 10 days, and would like to visit a few islands and so lots of walking, stay in a few places etc. what is public transport like in August, and would you recomend I hire a car? I normally try to use public transport when I travel but depending on infrastructure this can be difficult!

if anyone has any thoughts/experiences on either car hire in Faroe Islands or with public transport id love to hear them.

thanks! Cameron

Allons nous pouvoir sortir de la maison?? Faire des promenades sans danger? Rude climat?🙂

For the past year I’ve consider moving to the Faroe Islands for work. I understand this is might be a strange/unique decision because of the climate, the language, the differences with other cultures but I have done research and is one of my best options (also with Iceland). What are some things that I should consider before taking the next step? I have EU passport, but not a nordic one. I heard that there’s people from Philipines, Nigeria, Thailand, Romania (among other countries of course)and would love to hear some of those stories/experiences of how they got there and if they like their life as of today!

Should I learn danish, or better focus in some Faroese resources?

Thank you! Have a nice day

Hello! I’ve been living and working here for almost 1,5 years with a work and residence permit. I have the opportunity to work for a foreign company while still living here. Is there anyone who has experience with this? Living in the Faroe Islands as a non-Faroese but working for a non-Faroese company? The internet isn’t providing me answers…

A 24-hour travel ticket for 100 DKK, a three-day travel ticket for 200 DKK, or a seven-day travel ticket for 400 DKK.

I’m planning a trip to the Faroe Islands in May and would love to hear from those who have been there around May or live there. What can I expect in terms of temperature, rainfall, and overall conditions? Is it a good time for hiking and exploring the islands? Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Looking to open a bank account in the Faroe Islands early next year and wanted to deposit a few thousand USD to it. Is there a bank there that will convert it for me or what is the best way to make this happen. I was thinking of bringing physical cash but if not accepted I can also wire the money.

Also can I open a bank account online or do I have to go in person?

Hello fellow Redditors! My wife and I are looking for places to go on vacations. We usually prefer to avoid other tourists as much as possible and love traveling in winter, hiking and just enjoy the natural scenery . We've always wanted to visit the Islands but I'm worried about the amount of daylight we're going to get and if it's going to be enough for hikes.

Is there going to be enough to do if we go in December.

*We've already seen the Northern lights so while beautiful it's not a must do activity for us.

Thank you for your advice!

Hello! I would love to visit the islands and I’ve came across affordable tickets for next year. March-April and between August and October. I was wondering what time is better to visit and also avoid the dolphin slaughtering… I wouldn’t like to be there when it happens.

Thank you:)

Hello, I am leaving Faroe Islands soon, after a few months stay. There is some quality hiking and outdoor gear and tools I won't be bringing back with me as I'll only fly with a carry-on. What I would like to ask you Is wether there is an active online marketplace in Faroe Islands where I could post this gear for sale (for cheap ofc). In Norway, we have finn.no, for example. Something like that.

Thank you :)

I'm planning a trip to Europe with majority of the time in Italy -> then a week or so in Switzerland -> and finally Faroe Islands.

I know the standard Schengen Visa doesn't apply to Faroe Islands. I've also read a ton about how difficult it is to get a Schengen visa issued by Denmark if you're in Groups 2+ (me being a citizen of a group 2 country) according to the Executive Order on Aliens' Access to Denmark that was issued 2022. It seems to suggest that I'd need a "host" to even be considered. However, at the end of document, it says these procedures don't apply to Faroe Islands.

1. I'm assuming since Italy is where I'd spend most of my trip by number of days, that I'd apply for the Schengen Visa there. Is that right?

2. If that's the case, would I then need to get a visa for Faroe Islands issued by Denmark? I assume Denmark is the only authority who can issue such a visa, not Italy.

3. If 2 is true, would I need a "host" to apply for Faroe Islands visa? Or would the valid Schengen Visa from Italy already be good enough?

Thanks for the help. I plan to call the consulate of Denmark for official advice, but it's always helpful to hear any perspectives from others in similar situations. If I need a "host"... I guess it will be nearly impossible to ever visit.

Are there any stores in fø that sell goth and/ or emo clothes? Like boots, shoes, skirts, fishnets ect. Thank you :)

Looking to bring an upward of 4 checked bags with me as I am moving to the Faroe Islands next year for 6 months and then moving to Denmark. Do either airlines allow you to purchase that many extra checked bags or are there any other cheaper options to get stuff there. Shipping from my home has been quoted at $800 an item from Washington DC so it appear flying one checked item and a carryon at a time is somehow cheaper even if I weren’t to purchase extra bags.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Everyone, I'm visiting The Faroes for a week with my vehicle from Canada that needs specific engine oil

I'm looking for
Shell Ultra Helix 5W-40
or
Total Quartz 9000 5W-40

Does anyone know a place that sells shell or Total engine oils?

(If I have no luck online my plan is to start asking at the tire shop/oil change places and the car dealers)

Thanks,

Are there are shops in the Faroe Islands that sell trans items?

Hej alle fra Færøerne! Jeg er blevet nysgerrig over om der er nogen fra Færøerne der har prøvet på at gro chilier og andre planter? Efter at jeg har læst at der kan være op til 250 dage med skyer/tåge og mangel på sol er jeg blevet nysgerrig over om det overhovedet er muligt at gro planter og specielt chilier.

Hejsa,

Vi er en lille gruppe studerende fra Roskilde Universitet, der er interesserede i at lære mere om jeres kultur, madvaner, samfund og hvordan I forholder jer til naturen omkring jer.

Vi regner med at komme til Færøerne fra d. 4. til 8. november og vil rigtig gerne interviewe nogle lokale, som har lyst til at fortælle os om jeres samfund og kultur. Interviewene er meget uformelle og handler om at høre jeres egne historier og perspektiver.

Hvis du (eller nogen, du kender) har lyst til at deltage eller bare vil høre mere, så skriv endelig til mig! Vi vil virkelig sætte pris på det og glæder os til at lære jeres unikke ø-liv bedre at kende.

Tak på forhånd!😊

Jeg skal snart på Færøerne, og skal begå mig i arbejdssammenhænge. Af respekt har jeg forsøgt at læse lidt op på kulturen på Færøerne (og for ikke at komme galt afsted). Det jeg kan finde beskriver færinge som traditionelle, lidt reserverede mennesker, hvor familien har en stor betydning (generaliseret).

Er der noget jeg skal / kan være opmærksom på? Ting man ikke siger eller spørg ind til?

My brother and I bought this hunk of whale meat, but we are unsure how to prepare it. Do you boil it, fry it, or eat it raw? I’m going to make a video when I try it, so I want to make sure I prepare it correctly.

During our trip my family has finished an impressive amount of beer. 😂 The problem is we have over 30 empty beer cans and we don’t know where to recycle them. Is there anywhere in Torshavn?

I read somewhere that there is / used to be a team in Faroe Islands. Got a bit curious, is there any ice hockey over there?

The Faroes were amazing! I’m really glad i finally got to go. Only gripe.. i got killed by the tunnel tolls 😭

Planning to go to Faroe Islands next year at the end of August. Do you guys think I'd have at least a small chance to see the aurora borealis? Or it's completely out of question?

Since I am living near the tropic of cancer, I really wanted to know whether thunderstorm and lightning are common in the Faroe Islands. I personally think that these things are quite rare in such cold latitudes.

I am an American currently in the Faroe Islands. My brother is doing a research paper for school and I am here to be his photographer, but I want to make a fun YouTube video while I’m here. The video will be about trying the different snacks, candy, and drinks available in the Faroe Islands. I’m looking for things that don’t take too much preparation so not exactly looking for meal ideas. I would like to try the things people actually enjoy and not just the things that kind of sit on the shelf. If there are any recommendations please let me know. Once I am completely finished with the video I will link it in the comments on this post, so if you are interested go ahead and watch. It will be at least a week though because I will edit it once I get back to the states.

I imagine accessibility isn’t great given the landscape itself but wanted to know if travelling here is unrealistic for me and how accessible the infrastructure is

hi everyone, I plan on visiting the Faroe Islands next summer (a long long time dream destination for me!) with my partner. without sounding cliche, I'd love to experience some more 'normal' life in the faroe islands, and would love to maybe stay at a homestay or a farm stay or something like this for a few days or so. does anyone know if this is possible at all? thanks anyone for any help!
