    Nuuk is fairly remote, but it’s literally the capital and I’ve heard it’s developing nicely.

    Imagine moving much farther north to Illorsuit, it was literally abandoned a few years ago.

      I believe they are completing their modern international airport this year or next? Which should make Nuuk, and Greenland, far more accessible and thus help its tourism industry. From my understanding, it’s also very hard to immigrate to.

        AFAIK Greenland immigration laws are the danish immigration laws, as Greenland is part of Denmark. And yes, we do have very strict immigration policy here

          Yea, but Greenland is also autonomous so its laws do diverge from Denmark’s in a lot of ways. I’m not am expert or particularly knowledgeable on either, though, so just pointing it out because i don’t know where those deltas are. I don’t think you can actually own land in Greenland, for example, and rather long term lease plots from the government is perhaps one case?

            Sure it is autonomous, but most things are still taken care of by Denmark, such as police, medical needs etc. even immigration to Greenland is applied through Danish authorities.

            I think they mostly follow Danish laws, with some exceptions, (Greenland does not accept refugees as an example).
