For two antipodal locations (on opposite sides of the Earth) it will be sunrise for one when it is sunset for the other.Also, on the winter solstice, areas very near the North Pole or South Pole may experience a "day" of only a few minutes length, with sunrise quickly becoming sunset and the Sun never leaving the horizon. At the Poles themselves, the period from sunrise to sunset, and sunset to sunrise, is 6 full months.
