Argentina to Greenland visa requirements

No visa is required. Argentine ordinary-passport holders can visit Greenland visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days, because Argentina is a Schengen Annex II visa-exempt nationality and Greenland admits such nationals without a visa. Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark but is NOT in the European Union or the Schengen Area. Its visa policy is separate from mainland Denmark. Nationals who are exempt from short-stay Schengen visas (the EU Annex II list) may enter Greenland without a visa for up to 90 days for tourism. Argentina is on that visa-exempt list, so an Argentine ordinary passport holder needs no visa for a short Greenland visit. Two important practical points: (1) A Schengen visa is NOT valid for Greenland and, conversely, ETIAS does NOT cover Greenland because Greenland sits outside the Schengen Area; ETIAS is only for the Schengen zone. (2) Almost all flights to Greenland connect through Copenhagen (Denmark) or Reykjavik (Iceland), both Schengen. So while Greenland itself requires no authorization for Argentines, once ETIAS becomes mandatory (expected late 2026), Argentine travelers WILL need an approved ETIAS to transit the Schengen airport en route. At the Greenland border you must show a valid passport and proof of onward/return travel and sufficient funds. The 90-day allowance is for short stays; it does not permit work.
