Been fascinated by Greenland since I was a little kid and picked up a book on the country in my local library. Hope I'll get a chance to visit one day. Just wish that you all still had direct flights from the US.
I think we all wish for direct flights to north america... But it might open up once new international airports open up in 2023.!
I'm gonna be moving to greenland after summer! I always loved peaceful and colder weather! I can't wait to come there, i love nature and peace so much! It's gonna be perfect for me!🤗
Awesome! What are you gonna be doing here?
@@AlexAmasaOlsen I don't really know yet!😂 I have to figure out many more things about Greenland before i move there😂 I just know i'm gonna have a great time there!
Thats awesome! And a good attitude to have😁 Good luck! In regards to Covid-19 restrictions, Greenland will update the restrictions on the 15.april. Hopefully we will know more at that time.
Love your channel, Greenland is on my list of countries I'd like to visit, it's a lovely place ❤️
Thanks, I hope we open up again this summer😄
@@AlexAmasaOlsen anyway greenland to canada by boat ferry if u have information regarding this plz provide ..i want go to canada throw boat
@@jattblood9331 I havent heard of this being possible, only if you get some private boats doing that long journey
I flew over Greenland back in 1988 when I retuned from London flying on British Caledonian Airlines Non-stop to Los Angeles. Our pilot was gracious to announce that we were flying over Greenland.
Yes, I do hope we get flights to the US pretty soon, when a new airport opens in Nuuk. Makes no sense to fly to Denmark or Iceland to get to the US..😅
My wife is from the Netherlands. When she was young flying back from there they made an emergency landing in Greenland. It must have been in the 70s if I remember correctly.
I’d love to go there. Plus the Faroe Islands and Iceland. I speak a little Danish. So I think I’d adapt well with people easily. Plus I’m extremely social and enjoy anything new and different to me.
@@williamchristian8705 Thats cool! I would like to see Iceland and the Faroe Islands as well.. Hav quite a few study buddies from university living there :-)
Hope you get to see Greenland at one point!
@@AlexAmasaOlsen Tak..
It was similar to when I immigrated from the US to Britain. We had to go to Chicago with all our documents. Since I was marrying a British man I had met in Australia, we had to provide proof that we had met in Australia and photographs to prove we had a real relationship. Luckily we were only a 3 and a half hour drive from Chicago, but it did feel like something out of the movies, having all these questions asked about how and when we met, it was quite surreal.
True, when I was applying for a student visa for the US (i did a highschool exchange year), I could not even bring a family member inside the american embassy in Denmark. And all those weird questions..😅
@@AlexAmasaOlsen It's like the movies, right? After two years of living in the UK I had another interview to allow me permanent residency. I went around the house memorizing all the littlest things, like what brand toothpaste my husband used, did he put his right shoe on first or his left shoe on? Convinced I was going to be interrogated, it was less invasive than the original application. I mean, the US and the UK are prime targets for people illegally entering, Australia was so much easier! Did you find Australia an easy process?
Thank you for your informative video. I am from Luxembourg and I have been interested in Greenland for quite a while. The idea of living in a place, where you never experience heat waves, where you get actual winters with lots of snow, where you have nature at your doorstep and where you can live in a small and relatively quiet city with fascinating landscapes that can still offer you everything you need sounds fascinating.
On top of that, from what I have heard, Greenlanders seem to be very welcoming and I really like how their language (Kalaallisut) sounds.
I definitely need to visit Greenland, which would include Nuuk and maybe also Qaqortoq.
As far as job opportunities are concerned, do you know if electrical engineers are in high demand in Greenland, preferably in Nuuk (I am currently studying EE)? I assume that Tusass or Nukissiorfiit would be some interesting candidates.
Thanks again Alex ..great vid , easy to understand
No problem!
Thanks for all the details. I am really fascinated about Greenland. Would you be able provide some information on how to to get a job contract in Greenland and the job sectors which are in demand?
I have another video called: How to get a job in Greenland, it might help you out and provide some valuable links in the description😊
I was fascinated by Gronland and visited for 3 months in the 90's. MS Disko was a great ferry😅. Greeting from Australia.
I love your channel, i hope to make it both in personal finance and Greenland someday thanks to you, God bless you.
Thank you!
I'm from the US I've been to Greenland 4 times, I've fallen in love with the beautiful island. Is Danish Citizenship absolutely required? Or could be any other Nordic country's, considering Denmark Citizenship is harder to gain then other Countries.
Usually citizenship in any nordic country (norway, sweden, iceland and faroe islands) would make living in Greenland easier.
But since Denmark controls citizenship in Greenland, the danish system would be the most practical to go through.
Glad that you like the big island!😁😊
I'm from the USA and I have been living in Qaqortoq for the last 11 years now. ;)
Nice! Qaqortoq is a nice place, was there in May:-)
Hey Alex,
would you mind getting a little bit into the food situation you're facing in greenland?
From what I've heard the food is real special and coming from Germany I'm afraid I would starve over in Greenland.
I'm actually thinking about moving to greenland to become a pilot. It's my dream job and I'm 100% willing to relocate to make that dream come true.
From what I read so far the biggest challenge would be learning the language but I think I'd be able to pick that up rather quickly.
My biggest worry really is whether I can stomach the greenlandic cuisine :-D
I can look at the food situation😁 But to be honest in Nuuk you can get almost anything a supermarket would give you elsewhere, so no need to starve.
Are you already a licensed pilot?
@@AlexAmasaOlsen Thanks for your reply!
Hahaha, alright that's good to hear ^^
I'm really, really picky when it comes to food!
I've seen a documentary about the traditional greenlandic cuisine and I was shocked and thought "well.. I'm more of a chicken and nutella guy, how am I going to survive on fish and seal" :-D
No I'm not a licensed pilot yet.
I'm 27 and have been self employed ever since I left school so there was no time for that.
I'm looking to change professions tho because that's my childhood dream and I don't mind moving to any country on this earth as long as I get to fly.
Air Greenland just so happens to be flying the airplane I love the most (Dash 8) AND has a 2 year apprentice program with a partner school in denmark.
So the tasks for me would be to become eligible for work in Greenland as well as learning the language.
I just passed the assessment and simulator test for a well known airline pilot school in Austria so I'm somewhat confident that I could make it :-)
However none of their partner airlines is flying the Dash 8, so I'm keen on trying to get into the Air Greenland Program.
@@DmdMixZ Hehe, we do have chicken AND Nutella... I had Chicken yesterday on the barbeque.. Hehe.
I know quite a lot of pilots up here who actually got fired from their job, flying the Dash 8, as they have quite a lot of pilots for particularly that machine. And the future holds, that Nuuk will get an international airport, meaning the current international airport in Kangerlussuaq, will be flown to less frequently.
As most of the Dash 8 domestic flights are from Nuuk->Kangerlussuaq, I would say the demnd for Dash 8 might change. Of course, what do I know.. But definitely get a hold of Air Greenland and ask them!
I also think flying here in Greenland is very beautiful, so definitely check your options. And best of luck!
I received my residency after I moved here because I got married to a Native Greenlander. I have a permanent residency here. :) I wish there was information on how to have dual citizenship. :)
True.. How long did you have to be in Greenland before you could apply for residency?
I wonder how do you guys travel? I saw some Greenlandic people on my holidays in Spain, but I was shy to ask how they travel and how much it costs. It has to be very expensive to travel from Greenland to Spain.
To get to ex. Spain you have to fly to Denmark first, then from denmark you fly to Spain.
A return ticket to denmark from greenland is roughly $1.300, so quite pricey😫
@@AlexAmasaOlsen thanks for answering my question!
correct me if I'm wrong, but as Greenland is an autonomous region in Denmark, then you can't have Greenlander citizenship. It's like the Faroes. You would need to get Danish citizenship in both cases. Look forward to you explaining how it works.
Hi, I am a Bangladeshi man, lived in Germany and France before. I want to settle in Greenland for rest of my life. Would you please advise me, what I have to do for going there as an immigrant.
I did not forget hitting the like button. In fact, I am bounding it, I am smashing it in an aggressive manner.
Thank you!
Just make sure to always hit the like button an odd numbered times, as it has to stay blue..😉
How is that bitcoin ride going? Hope you have increased that Portfolio quite dramatically!
@@AlexAmasaOlsen Hahaha! My pleasure, actually not - not only your like button is blue but also so is my wist from all that pounding.
Bitcoin, and crypto run feels good. A slight slowdown, but still in milllions of dollars. My target for this bull market is to reach minimum 10 million usd networth.
Daamn! Thats awesome!
Actually I was contacted by another viewer about mining crypto up here, but he got discouraged when I mentioned the price pr. kwh..😅
@@AlexAmasaOlsen Personally, I recommend for all wannabe miners just buying crypto and holding it no matter what. In the longer run the holder generally gets rich because the community is global so you in Greenland can benefit someone in Germany buying crypto.
I read about residents and living in Greenland only for nordic people.. non Nordic people only allowed stay 90 days..am I right?
No doubt dude… I had a friend here in Denver who went to Greenland. He had to go to San Francisco to apply & do biometrics, wait for approval, then had to fly from Denver to an East Coast city, then all the way to Denmark then backwards to Greenland, and vice versa on his way back to Denver. He liked what he saw, but he wouldn’t go through all that again. I don’t think that’s the kind of tourist economy at Greenland wants.
I don’t know who’s issue it is, Denmark or Greenland, really matter which one is holding things up, but it’s ludicrous the hoops that everybody else has to jump through while Nordic countries for some unknown reason get preference; sounds somewhat elitist, and or discriminatory to me, but so be it.
All I know is Greenland is really shooting itself in the foot since America is among, if not the most secure, largest & most capable investor & developer in the world. You gotta make it easier for Americans and Canadians to get into Greenland. Especially since I would imagine Greenland would love American tourist dollars.
I live near Belfast, with viking dNA. so does that count as Nordic 🤔
I guess it depends on who you ask😅
I would daydream about Greenland living in hot Taiwan sometimes
Out of the 195 countries in the world....Greenland has got to be my number 193 I would wish to work and live.....
Hehe, each has their own taste😆
Please elaborate as its a beautiful destination
I definitely accept that you left out Jordan and North Korea. But i would have called you an enthusiast if you had left out your own country too
I would like to visit Greenland for a month or two. I'm in need of fast internet, though. What is the fastest internet speed that you can get there? Thanks for the good videos.
You can look up internet speeds at tusass.gl or comby.gl
Normal speeds are 30/5mbits down/upload, but you can get faster internet as a business
How to apply a job in Greenland? I'm from the Phillipines.
Can you please research the current law and provide an updated video about permanent residence in Greenland? For example, do they tax permanent residents or citizens on income earned outside Greenland/Denmark? How many days can a tourist or legal resident stay there in a calendar year without becoming subject to the income-tax system? What is the Value Added Tax (VAT) rate on restaurants, groceries, taxi rides, and lodging? How many people speak English? Or German? THANK YOU. I’m a new subscriber :)
I read somewhere that some towns in Greenland can get very warm summer days ( sometimes as much as 23 degrees celcius) is this true? and if so does Nuuk ever experience this?
Nuuk had 18.9°C last july, so it can get warm here. And Narsarsuaq had 23,4°C last july, so yes some days are ok warm...😎
You need to get accepted to a job *before* you get to Greenland?
You can also travel here on a travel visa for 3months without a job. But if you come from outsisde of the nordic countries, you need a job before being able to apply for working visa.
Is there dedicated ice for Olympic curling in Greenland?
Good evening Sir. May I ask something?
Tolong kasih subtitle
I'd love to get an Inuit and Taiwanese aboriginal art side by side expo somewhere
Gretings 👋 Alex
I am from Albania and we have right to travel in Greenland for 90 days in your thought its hard to find i job construction there
Awesome!
The only issue would be getting a work visa. You have to go through the danish immigration services for that. But sometimes the construction company couls helo you in that process😊
Me, I'm going for a visa, I don't know how to get it.
Appreciate the video. What’s the financial sector like there? Are there mortgage companies or banks or anything regarding real estate? I work in the mortgage business and do not have a college degree.
However, here in the U.S. - I still get job offers left & right constantly as there isn’t many people my age (late 20’s) that does my job. I wonder if there would be some demand within the financial sector there?
Thanks!
We do have two banks (Grønlandsbanken and Bank Nordik) and then some government funded investment companies such as Greenland Holding. No mortgages companies, but if you could get some American mortgage companies to give mortgages to Greenlandic real estate, I think there would be a market. I have been waiting for 6 weeks now, to get a mortgage offer from a danish mortgage firm, so thats a pain in the b..t..
are there trucks or heavy trucks in greeland
Hey dude ..! Should indian diplomatic cource (polytechnic diploma .machenical eng..) job is were needed in greenland..?
Is it in any way possible to get a residence if I am not working, but my husband has work permit? I think not, but I thought I better ask.
If I was you I would ask the Danish Immigration services (Denmark handles immigration to Greenland).
So basically for non-nordic countries a job offer by an employer is needed beforehand in order to apply for a work permit?
Yes, or take 3 months vacation here while finding a job..
And they also got a new law in regards to fasttracking new people. Meaning for companies that has applied for that programme, you will automatically/faster get a work permit once you have a signed job contract.
i hope i can live in greenland one day. that would be the perfect life for me
Good luck, hope you realize your dream😊😁
is there a huge taxes on the salaries?
How to get greenland and denmark, work permit? I'm kalib thomas from Ethiopia
Go to www.nyidanmark.dk, there you can read more..
Also, you can only get a permit ro either denmark or greenland, as it it two different countries..
@@AlexAmasaOlsen thanks
This should make more easier to get this permanent residence permit. Do you really think people would run to this country?
They totally should! But they have now started a fasttrack program for jobs in high demand, such as construction workers, which might expedite the process.. Some people move here, but wouldnt say run to this isolated country😅
Where are the links?
The inks are under the video in the description. You can click a "show more" tab and get the links shown.😊
So how do you become a Greenlander?
Hi Alex.. I'm from Malaysia 🇲🇾.. can you tell me about "Greenland urban legend?"
What do you mean by Greenland Urban legend?
Hey I'm swedish.. maybe I'll move to Greenland. Do you guys need welders?
I am pretty sure companies like MT Højgaard, Permagreen, Istak, Munck, EMJ Atcon or some plumbing companies would love a welder, try them out😎
hey do you know how to get a house in more smaller towns in greenland like nuugaatsiaq or sisimiut
Try this real estate website: lm.gl/
Hello, I have already learned this, but. Visa required: Work contract, I do not know how to get it. Do you have information?
You have to do job searches in your field of work through Greenland employment agencies. You then have to get the job, so you need to have good qualifications and meet a need that cannot be filled by a person already in Greenland. Sometimes you can bypass this rule by being able to prove that you have enough money and experience to start your own business. It isn't easy to immigrate anywhere, most places have specific requirements. Even in Pitcairn, which has a dying population, you still need to meet specific requirements. Svalbard, you have to prove you are able to obtain a home and work. No one wants people who cannot fill a service or need, they want skilled individuals who will help their country/territory to grow and develop.
Basically you need a signed work contract. Someone has to have hired you.😊
Could someone please give me a site where I could look at the latest greenland healthcare jobs?
Thx

Hey brother , I am from india ,can I study data science in Greenland 🙏???,can you tell me scope of data science in Greenland 🙏
As far as I know there is not data science studies here in Greenland. What many people do (myself included) is to study in Denmark and then go back to Greenland.
@@AlexAmasaOlsen TQ for kind information 🙏,is finding part time job in Denmark easy??as a student 🙏
Good imformation
Thanks😊

Hi Alex , I'm from India. I also want to be a citizen of greenland. Can I ?
Yes, it is possible. I actually made a video about that, you should watch it :-)

Hi
are you not UK citizen?
The U S A would be less polluted if it could learn from Greenland
Hi!
I'm an Iraqi middle eastern. In your opinion, what are the chances in accepting me as a citizen in Greenland?
Thank you.
I would prove difficult, but there are some from Iraq in Nuuk😎
But think they lived in Denmark before, hence had a better option. But never say never, always try!
I want citizenship
How to get visa
I reolied your other comment
So your country discriminates on your the level of education that one receives.
It is usually always easier to get employment if your degree or craft is desirable.😉
Should indians easily go to the greenland without any terror ..❇️❇️
We are srilankan we want Citizen
In greenland soon reply
You go to: nyidanmark.dk and find the appropriate solution. But you definitely need a job first
@@AlexAmasaOlsen What do you have to do to expatriate from the US if you have a set SS disability income and want to retire in Greenland? Appreciate your channel
@@YAHsBurntButterfly Phew, thats a very specific question :-)
I guess you have to ask for a visa of some sort. Better ask the danish immigration office, as my guess of an answer could very well be wrong :-)
@@AlexAmasaOlsen Thank you for responding! Happy (cold) trails from New Mexico, USA !! Shalom

I would like to visit greenland and get drunk over there and sleep shirtless on a sidewalk on the winter
Hehe, you totally could, but trust me you definitely could die...😅
hei bro can you help me au pair scheme?
Not sure I understand your question🤔
😑 An au pair is someone who has experience caring for children, infants, and can do household chores; Usually it's a job given to elderly women who need extra money or want to travel, or women who are looking for careers in child care, like teachers and such. What your asking is very inappropriate and not customary in countries in the west. I'm sure most don't want a foreign grown man around their daughters and this has nothing to do with the country you come from, when there's children involved, this is just considered inappropriate.
I wonder if people in Greenland laugh when they hear the globalists talk about an overpopulated world? Good video Alex.
We definitely have plenty place here. I think overpopulation is mainly due to a huge concentration in cities nowadays. Just spread out man😅😉
I have 💩💩passport unlucky
Damn...

Sure do! It makes no sense in such a globalised world...
I’d spend more time there if the women were actually Danish ;) but come on, native girls, prove me wrong! We need to get that population up.
