Talk:Nordic Passport Union

Map

The map currently being applied to this article omits the Faeroes. --Mais oui! 01:50, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes. The map is wrong -- the Faroe Islands are part of the Nordic Passport Union. (58.188.97.134 08:07, 18 January 2007 (UTC))

I think the map might include the Faeroe Islands - it's hard to be sure, but the dot half-way between Iceland and Shetland looks to me as if it might be green! That said, if you don't look for it specifically you won't see it.

Merge into Nordic countries

I think this article should be merge into Nordic countries#Nordic Passport Union. --Ann O'nyme (talk) 01:03, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

I disagree, this is the main article for the subject, which is clearly notable for its own article, and it is also summarised in the article you mention. Tomas e (talk) 13:50, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

SJ

This article states that SJ requires an identity document. This is also confirmed by text on the tickets. But maybe it should be mentioned that the train crew rarely asks to see this document? When I travelled with SJ last weekend (twice), I never had to show my ID card. I didn't even have to show my student ID, confirming that I was allowed to use a student discount.

Or maybe the whole section should be removed altogether? This article is about border crossing, not about using certain services. Identification is needed on various occasions, in Sweden for example when passing through airport security or when receiving a registered mail, but this identification part does not have anything to do with border crossing per se (there is no difference between domestic registered mail and international registered mail, and there is no difference between domestic and international train/flight travel). (213.100.156.114 (talk) 09:29, 31 July 2010 (UTC))

I agree. I'll remove it. Rettetast (talk) 11:00, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Scandinavia-centrism

In several places, the article uses the word "Scandinavian". I think we should replace it with "Nordic" so as to include Finland; see Scandinavia#Use_of_Nordic_countries_vs._Scandinavia (btw, perhaps not all Nordic countries are included in this passport union).

Greenland

Since Greenland is a part of Denmark, and there is no internal passport control within the Danish Realm, Greenland therefore together with the Faroe Isles are a part of the Nordic Passport Union. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.184.162.182 (talk) 20:06, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Issue with lead sentence

The lead sentence is actually wrong about Greenland and Svalbard. Since those in Greenland and Svalbard are Danish and Norweign citizens, the Nordic Passport Union does allow them to the right to abode in any of the Nordic Passport Union countries, it just doesn't allow those from Nordic Passport Union countries the right to abode in Greenland or Svalbard (although both allow this anyway). So I think we should cover the countries having open borders in one sentence, then separately the right to abode of citizens. Rob984 (talk) 12:43, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

I think it looks good now. Thanks. --Glentamara (talk) 13:10, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

I clarified by just rearranging the sentence. Rob984 (talk) 13:18, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

If you are a citizen of Finland, Iceland, Norway or Sweden, you neither need a visa, nor a permit to stay and work in Greenland. You are free to enter into Greenland, and you do not need to bring your passport.
