Citizens of another country who legally reside in the Faroes and do not receive grants from their home country and have a) become a legal resident in the Faroes, together with their parents, before they have turned 20 years old, b) become legal residents in the Faroes after they have turned 20 years old and have lived in the Faroes for at least two years continually before commencing their studies, or c) are legal residents in the Faroes and have been married to a Danish citizen for at least two years.
