Register your trip on-line with the U.S. Embassy in this country. Millions of Americans travel abroad every year and encounter no difficulties. However, U.S. embassies and consulates assist nearly 200,000 Americans each year who are victims of crime, accident, or illness, or whose family and friends need to contact them in an emergency. When an emergency happens, or if natural disaster, terrorism, or civil unrest strikes during your foreign travel, the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate can be your source of assistance and information. By registering your trip, you help the embassy or consulate locate you when you might need them the most. Registration is voluntary and costs nothing, but it should be a big part of your travel planning and security.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do US citizens need a visa to visit Greenland?
No. US citizens do not need a visa to visit Greenland. Greenland is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark and American passport holders can enter without a visa. However Greenland is NOT part of the Schengen Area or the European Union. Your days in Greenland do not count toward your 90-day Schengen allowance for mainland Europe. This means you can visit Greenland and then use your full 90-day Schengen allowance for European travel separately. AA Passport & Visa helps with passport renewal. Call 972-231-1600.

What are the main reasons DFW travelers visit Greenland?
Greenland draws adventurous DFW travelers for several extraordinary experiences. Ilulissat Icefjord a UNESCO World Heritage Site offers some of the world’s most dramatic iceberg scenery where massive icebergs calve from the Sermeq Kujalleq glacier. The Northern Lights from September to March are spectacular with minimal light pollution. Dog sledding, ice cap trekking, whale watching, and kayaking among icebergs are all possible. The indigenous Greenlandic Inuit culture offers authentic experiences found nowhere else on earth. Hikers can tackle the Arctic Circle Trail a 100-mile wilderness route.
What is the best time of year to visit Greenland from Dallas?
Greenland offers very different experiences depending on the season. Summer from June to August offers the midnight sun, accessible hiking trails, whale watching, iceberg viewing, and boat tours. Winter from November to March offers the Northern Lights, dog sledding, and snow activities but with very limited daylight especially in the far north. Spring in April and May offers good light for photography with snow still on the ground. Most DFW travelers visit in summer for easier access and longer days. Make sure your passport is valid before booking. Call 972-231-1600.
Is Greenland expensive for DFW travelers?
Yes. Greenland is one of the world’s most expensive destinations due to the remoteness and cost of supplying goods and services to a large isolated Arctic island. Flights, accommodation, food, and activities are all significantly more expensive than comparable European destinations. Budget travelers will find few options — Greenland is a destination that rewards careful financial planning and advance booking. The experience however is genuinely unlike anywhere else on earth. AA Passport & Visa ensures your passport is valid before you commit to a Greenland trip booking. Call 972-231-1600.
