You likely don't need a visa
You don't need a visa to enter the Faroe Islands as a tourist if you travel on a British passport. The overview exempts holders of a British passport that describes the holder's status as British citizen, British National (Overseas), British Overseas Territories citizen, British overseas citizen, British protected person or British subject. The Faroese Government says the list of countries requiring a visa for the Faroe Islands is the same as for Denmark, the Danish Immigration Service says that if you can enter Denmark without a visa you can also enter the Faroe Islands without one, and the Ministry of Immigration and Integration's overview of 13 April 2026 lists holders of a British passport as exempt from the Danish visa requirement. You can stay for a combined maximum of 90 days in any 180-day period across the Schengen area, Greenland and the Faroe Islands (the day you arrive and the day you leave both count). You still have to meet Denmark's basic entry conditions, which the Immigration Service says also apply when you travel visa-free to the Faroe Islands: a passport valid for at least three months past your planned departure from the Schengen area and issued within the last 10 years, enough money for your stay and return trip (roughly DKK 350 a day, or about DKK 500 a day if you stay in a hotel), being able to explain and document why you are visiting, and not being registered as undesirable in the Schengen Information System, banned from Denmark, or on a UN or EU sanctions list. You can be refused entry at the border if you don't meet them.
