The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) passport holders will enjoy visa-free access to Greenland and the Faroe Islands, a government spokesman said Wednesday.
The spokesman said the HKSAR government has received the confirmation from the Royal Danish Consulate General that Greenland and the Faroe Islands have granted visa-free access to HKSAR passport holders for a stay up to 90 days with immediate effect.
The availability of visa-free access to Greenland and the FaroeIslands has brought to 116 the total number of countries and regions agreeing to grant visa-free access to HKSAR passport holders, the spokesman said.
Currently, nationals of Greenland and the Faroe Islands may also visit Hong Kong visa-free for a stay up to three months, he added.
