Grant Application & Eligibility
Can I update my application after submitting it? (My preferred dates, for example.)
Unfortunately, applications cannot be edited once submitted. However, there’s no need to worry — your preferred dates are not decisive in the selection process. The exact period of your stay will later be fine-tuned together with the selected participants.
Are citizens of *my country* eligible to apply?
Yes — the program is open to all nationalities. If you are unsure whether you need a visa to visit one of the participating countries, please check the official immigration websites:
Norway: Persons who do not need a visa to visit Norway – UDI.no
Faroe Islands: Passport & Visa to the Faroe Islands – visitfaroeislands.no
Iceland: Check if you need a visa to travel to Iceland – island.is
Can I apply with my partner?
Yes. You can include your partner (and children, if relevant) directly in your application form. Please submit one shared application for your group. You will be admitted together.
Can I bring a friend?
Yes — if you wish to bring a friend within the grant program, please include them in your application.
Outside the grant, friends are warmly welcome to join on their own initiative, by paying for accommodation and coworking space separately.
Travel, Visa & Logistics
Do you offer any visa assistance?
Unfortunately, our team is too small, this year, to provide individual visa assistance.
What costs are covered, and which are not?
The grant covers accommodation, electricity, water, coworking space, and a few group activities (to be confirmed).
Travel to and from the destination, as well as food and personal expenses, are not included.
What should I know about local weather and conditions?
Expect a truly Arctic experience — from crisp, snowy winters to bright and blooming spring days. Warm clothing, thermal layers and snow boots are recommended.
Accommodation & Daily Life
What kind of accommodation and coworking spaces are provided?
You can see examples of available housing on the websites of the three host locations. Options range from apartments and traditional cabins (hytter) to small houses. We match each participant or family with a suitable private home — always with a private kitchen and bathroom.
What is daily life like during the stay?
Life in the villages is peaceful and close to nature, with a friendly local community and a quiet coworking space for focused work.
Most digital nomads follow normal working hours, often sharing lunch breaks and enjoying outdoor or cultural activities in the evenings and weekends.
Occasionally, small group activities will be organised — from local traditions to guided nature experiences.
How does food and grocery access work?
Nearby grocery shops are open year-round and provide everything you need.
Due to the mountain landscape, distances can feel longer than they look — having access to a car can be helpful for shopping and exploring the area.
Families, Children & Pets
Can I apply if I have children?
Absolutely — families are very welcome in the program. We’re delighted to see applicants who wish to experience local life together with their children.
Can my children attend school during our stay?
Children cannot be formally enrolled in the local school, but in some cases they may take part in school life and community activities. While we cannot guarantee this, we do our best to involve all family members — including children — in the local experience.
Can I bring my pet?
Accommodation that allows pets can be arranged. Please mention this clearly in your application so we can take it into account.
