Forms and Permits

Before traveling to Pituffik Space Base, there are typically a number of approvals, security requirements, and practical formalities that must be completed. Since Pituffik is both a high-security area and a U.S. military installation, the requirements are more extensive than for ordinary work assignments in Greenland.

Typically, you must have:

• Approved employment or contract through Inussuk/V2X/subcontractor

• Base access approval (Access Request / Base Pass)

• Background check and security clearance

• Valid passport

• Work and residency documentation

• Medical clearance / health approval

• Any required vaccinations

• Safety, environmental, and conduct training for the base

• Flight and transportation approval

• Signed compliance and confidentiality documents

• IT and access permissions depending on the position

In Inussuk’s documentation, the following are specifically mentioned:

• “Thule AB Access Request” as part of the employment and onboarding process

• requirements regarding Environmental, Safety & Health (ESH) procedures, safety training, and PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)

• COVID-related and medical procedures, including quarantine and isolation rules

• ongoing employee training and certification requirements

For apprentices and interns, there are often additional requirements such as:

• coordination with educational institutions

• apprenticeship agreements

• rotation or internship approvals

• housing and travel coordination

There are also several practical considerations that many people are not aware of:

• You cannot simply travel to Pituffik as a tourist

• All transportation is coordinated through the employer

• Alcohol, drones, photography, and certain types of equipment may be regulated

• Personnel are often required to attend briefings regarding U.S. military rules and Force Protection Conditions (FPCON)
