Connecting through another country?
This page covers a direct flight to Faroe Islands.

Transit rules depend on your specific routing, so check the country you connect through separately, or analyse your full itinerary.
What to know before you go
Check your phone coverage abroad
INFOYou're travelling to Faroe Islands (FO). Your home cellular plan may or may not include data abroad — check your carrier's international options before you fly. An eSIM is a low-commitment alternative if your plan doesn't cover the destination or charges high roaming rates.
Cash declaration threshold: EUR 10,000 for Sweden (SE)
INFODeclare EUR 10,000 or equivalent when entering or leaving Sweden (SE). Form: Cash declaration form. EU-wide: declare €10,000+ when entering/leaving the EU. Individual member states may have additional rules.
Nordic Passport Union - live and work freely across the Nordic countries
INFOYour SE citizenship gives you free movement across the Nordic Passport Union - Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden (plus the Faroe Islands and Aland; Greenland runs its own separate arrangement, not the Passport Union). Nordic citizens may travel without a passport. The right to reside and work without a permit under the Common Nordic Labour Market applies between the five states - the territories keep their own labour and residence rules (a Faroese permit confers no rights in Denmark, and Aland requires a 'right of domicile' / hembygdsratt for property ownership, running a business, and municipal voting). Carry photo ID; a passport is simplest for air travel.
Nordic citizens can travel without a passport - but carry photo ID
WARNThe Nordic Passport Union lets citizens cross internal Nordic borders without a passport, but airlines on the route may still require government photo ID and sometimes default to passport checks. Carry a passport or national ID card; reference the Nordic Passport Union if questioned.
