For the relevant traveller scope, is a visa, electronic authorisation, visa on arrival or no advance visa normally required?
A national of a visa-required country needs a visa valid for entry into the Faroe Islands and/or Greenland; the visa sticker must state it is valid there, and a Danish or other Schengen visa is not valid for entry. Nationals of visa-exempt countries who can enter Denmark without a visa, and people staying in Denmark or another Schengen country on a valid residence permit entitling them to enter and reside in Denmark, need no visa.
