Greenland

Greenland, situated in the Arctic region of North America, operates as an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. Notably, it holds the status of being one of the Overseas Countries and Territories of the European Union, granting its residents European Union citizenship. This unique position not only offers advantageous ties to the European Union but also presents an enticing prospect for international investors looking to engage with a region that combines Arctic resources and European affiliations, fostering a compelling investment environment.

GREENLAND CITIZENSHIP BY INVESTMENT

Unfortunately Greenland does not offer a citizenship by investment programme. If it did, it would likely be a popular choice due to its link to Denmark and the EU. Investors are advised to consider other locations within the Caribbean or Europe. Dominica’s Citizenship by Investment programme is one of the quickest, cheapest and most straightforward methods of obtaining citizenship and a second passport for high-net-worth individuals, and is incredibly popular with foreign investors looking to increase freedom of travel.

GREENLAND RESIDENCY BY INVESTMENT

Greenland does not offer a residency by investment programme. However, there are various residency by investment programmes in Europe to consider, such as Portugal’s Golden Visa programme which enables international investors to reside in the country and have access to education, healthcare and employment.

GREENLAND PASSPORT STRENGTH AND RANKING

Greenland doesn’t have its own passport, as it is technically under Danish jurisdiction which means Greenlanders hold a Danish passport. Denmark’s passport ranks highly in La Vida’s Global Passport Ranking, in the 10th position, giving great global mobility. Greenland and Danish passport holders benefit from visa-free access to 199 destinations worldwide, which equates to a staggering 80.8% of global GDP.
