Do Indonesia passport holders need a visa to visit GL?

Indonesian ordinary passport holders need a visa to visit Greenland. Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark but is NOT in the Schengen Area, so a Schengen visa does not cover Greenland. You must apply for a specific short-stay visa for Greenland through a Danish diplomatic mission, using the same procedure as a Danish/Schengen visa. As of 2026, an Indonesian ordinary passport holder requires a visa to enter Greenland for tourism. Greenland is a self-governing territory within the Kingdom of Denmark but is outside both the EU and the Schengen Area, so a Schengen visa is not valid for entry to Greenland and vice versa. Because Indonesia is not on the visa-exempt list, travelers must apply for a dedicated Greenland short-stay visa. The application is handled by the Danish authorities (Danish Immigration Service / SIRI) and submitted through a Danish diplomatic mission or its visa partner (VFS Global) in Indonesia, following the same procedure as a Danish Schengen short-stay visa. A single application form can cover both a Schengen visa and a Greenland visa if the trip involves both. The standard short-stay visa fee is EUR 90 (the rate since June 2024), and the visa allows stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Note: if a traveler already holds an EU/Schengen residence permit/card, or is a national of a visa-exempt country, no Greenland visa is needed - but neither applies to ordinary Indonesian passport holders. There is no visa-on-arrival or eVisa channel for Greenland; the verdict is firmly visa-required.
