Integration

We welcome new residents and do our very best to help them become part of our community. Locals are known for their hospitality and the municipality, volunteers and the various clubs offer many leasure time activities and services for you to explore.

But moving to a new country can be exciting but it can also be challenging. It is not always easy to know who to contact when advice or guidance is needed. Vágur Municipality and the Faroese Immigration Office offer advice and guidance on how to integrate and get a good start on the stay in the Faroe Islands.

Learn Faroese

Speaking Faroese language is a foundation for a newcomer to integrate in society. The evening school in Vágur, Kvøldskúlin, gives Faroese courses to foreigners. The course “Faroese language and culture for foreigners” is free.
