Aevamo’s reading
Anordning nr. 182 puts the Danish Aliens Act in force for the Faroe Islands and is the instrument that creates the entry regime: § 1 grants citizens of Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden the right to enter and stay without permission, § 3 fixes the visa-exempt stay at 90 days in 180, and § 4 requires every other foreigner to hold a Faroe Islands visa. Bekendtgørelse nr. 636 implements it, setting out the visa exemption categories and visa rules.
The instrument's own first section names Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden and grants their citizens entry to and stay on the Faroe Islands without permission, with no period attached, so the visa regime's cap never reaches them.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions
Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
