Apply for an expedition permit

Scientific expeditions hosted by a scientific station and working within the station's monitoring area must apply via the research station.

Be advised that you must submit your application no later than 12 weeks before your expected expedition start – the applications process is divided in 4 parts, where you get access to a system to which you must continuously upload documentation before your application can be processed.

The expedition application process consists of 4 Parts:

Part 1
Must be submitted no later than 12 weeks before the expedition start date.

Part 2
Must be submitted no later than 12 weeks before the expedition start date.

Part 3
Must be submitted no later than 8 weeks before the expedition start date.

Part 4
If relevant, it must be submitted no later than 7 working days before the expedition start date.

Important: Failure to meet these deadlines will result in rejection of the expedition application.

Application Fee and payment requirements

With reference to the Executive Order on Access to and Conditions for Travelling in Certain Parts of Greenland, an application fee payment is required for processing the expedition application.

The application fee covers exclusively administrative costs associated with processing the expedition application and is non-refundable, even if an expedition application is rejected/cancelled.

Payment must be made in accordance with the instructions provided in the invoice you receive via e-mail after submitting Part 1 of the expedition application.

To continue the expedition application process, proof of payment (payment receipt) must be submitted with Part 2 of the expedition application.
