Application

An application is submitted by completing an application form. You can access the application here.

Once the Ministry of Business and Mineral Resources is in receipt of your application, the Ministry will confirm receipt of the application.

The application will then be shared with the relevant case manager. The relevant departments will then review the application.

The completed application should be sent to: isiin@nanoq.gl

From the date an application is recieved by the Ministry, the processing period can take 3 months before the license is granted. The Ministry therefore requests applications to be submitted well in advance of starting an expedition.

Co-applicants 
If the applicant has more than three co-applicants, a Co-applicant Appendix can be downloaded from this page. The appendix should be completed and submitted together with the application.
