The Self-Government’s new executive order on paid hunting and fishing will take effect on July 1, 2026, and will thus serve as the legal framework for paid hunting and fishing in Greenland, including paid fishing for tourists.
Paid fishing for tourists refers to fishing for non-quota species in exchange for payment by anyone who is not a permanent resident of Greenland.
Through a new web portal for paid fishing, tourists can purchase licenses valid for one day, one week, or one month. Tourism operators can also register as users and purchase licenses on behalf of their customers. The new web portal can be found at this link: https://turistfisketegn.gl.
