Entry Requirements

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS: A passport is required. U.S. citizens do not need visas for tourist or business stays of up to three months within any six-month period. Because Iceland is a signatory to the Schengen Agreement, the three-month period begins when entering any of the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden.

Icelandic law requires that foreigners obtain visas if they plan to stay in the country longer than three months or if they plan to study or work in Iceland . The Royal Danish Consulate General in New York and the Royal Norwegian Consulate General in Minneapolis process applications for Icelandic visas. The Embassy of Iceland in Washington, D.C., and the Consulate General of Iceland in New York do not process visa applications. For further information concerning entry requirements for Iceland , please contact the Royal Danish Consulate General via its web site at http://www.denmark.org or the Royal Norwegian Consulate General via its web site at http://www.norway.org. Those travelers with dual U.S. and Schengen-member citizenship should enter Iceland on their Schengen-nation passports, and not their U.S. passports.

In an effort to prevent international child abduction, many governments have initiated procedures at entry/exit points. These often include requiring documentary evidence of relationship and permission for the child’s travel from the parent(s) or legal guardian if not present. Having such documentation on hand, even if not required, may facilitate entry/departure.
