The Schengen Area is an area comprising 26 European states, based on the Schengen Agreement, a treaty between the Member States, with the purpose of ending internal border checkpoints and controls within the area. Iceland has been a Member State of the Schengen Area since 2001.
Citizens from more than 100 countries, that have not been exempted from obtaining a Schengen visa, wishing to visit Iceland or any other Schengen Member State, must apply for a Schengen visa before entering the external borders of the Schengen Area. A Schengen visa enables its holder to enter, freely travel within, and leave the Schengen Area from any of the Schengen member states, for up to 90 days within any 180-day period.
Iceland has made representation agreements with 9 other Schengen Member States on processing applications for a Schengen visa to Iceland and issuing visas in more than 100 places where Iceland does not have a Diplomatic Mission. The Nordic countries have a close cooperation in Schengen visa matters and Embassies and Consulates General of Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland represent Iceland in many locations. Furthermore, Iceland is represented by Germany, France, the Netherlands, Portugal and Lithuania.
Representing States processes applications for a Schengen visa to Iceland in more than 100 places worldwide, for a list of places where you can apply for a Schengen visa to Iceland, please click here to open the website of the Icelandic Directorate of Immigration. Furthermore, you can apply for a visa at designated Visa application centres, for a list of the locations, open the website of the Icelandic Directorate of Immigration.
Multiple entry visa
Applicants with a multiple entry visa can leave and re-enter the Schengen area multiple times for up to 90 days per every 180-day period. Multiple entry visas with a long validity are issued to frequent travellers irrespective of travel purposes.
If an Icelandic citizen, a permanent resident in Iceland or a company in Iceland wishes to invite a person who needs a Schengen visa to enter Iceland, the inviting party needs to write an invitation letter as a part of the visa application.
The contents of the invitation letter must include:
The number and types of supporting documents that need to be handed in with a Schengen visa application may vary depending on the applicant's country of application.
In order to get the most accurate information regarding application requirements, applicants are advised to visit the websites of the embassy/consulate where they intent to apply for the visa.
Your passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your intended stay in the Schengen Area, or from the return date to your home country. Please note that your visa application will be refused if this condition is not met.
Example:
A Schengen visa has a validity from June 1st to August 31st, but a duration of only 30 days and a single entry. Then the traveler can enter the Schengen Area once from June 1 to August 31 and stay for a maximum period of 30 days.
The validity period of a Schengen visa cannot exceed 5 years.
No, you are not permitted to work in the Schengen Area if you are only holding a Schengen visa. The visa only grants you a short stay permit intended for tourism, business or visiting family and friends. Applications for a work permit need to be submitted directly to the Icelandic Directorate of Immigration. On the website of the Directorate of Immigration, you can find information on work permits in Iceland.
Holders of a Schengen visa who for some reason cannot leave Iceland before the end of the validity and/or duration of their stay, can as long as they can provide a valid reason for it, apply for an extension of the visa at the offices of the Directorate of Immigration located at Dalvegur 18, 201 Kpavogur. Outside opening hours of the Directorate of Immigration, the Schengen visa holder can go the Police station located at Hverfisgata 113, 105 Reykjavk and apply for a visa extension.
Note that these extensions only apply for emergencies. Overstaying your visa is a punishable offense and punishments may include a fine, immediate deportation and/or a ban to enter the Schengen Area for a period of time.
Greenland and the Faroe Islands are not a part of the Schengen Area and a regular Schengen visa is not valid for Greenland and the Faroe Islands. Consequently, a separate visa is required in order to travel to Greenland and the Faroe Islands. These visas are issued by Denmark.
The United Kingdom is not a part of the Schengen Area. Therefore, a Schengen visa does not grant you access to the UK. Check with UK authorities whether you need a visa to visit the UK.
Please note that if you hold a single-entry Schengen visa, you cannot re-enter the Schengen Area once you leave it. This means that if you intend to travel to the UK during your trip to the Schengen Area and then return back to a Schengen Member State, after your visit to the UK, you must apply for at least a double entry Schengen visa.
When a Schengen visa application is refused, the applicant receives a refusal letter explaining the reason behind the decision. A Schengen visa refusal does not deny the applicant the right to re-apply for a Schengen visa at another time.
If a Schengen visa application is refused by the Directorate of Immigration in Iceland, the applicant can appeal the decision to the Icelandic Immigration Appeals Board within 15 days of receiving the refusal letter. Along with appeals, the applicant can hand in supporting documents that could help with granting the applicant the preferred outcome of the appeal.
If a Schengen visa application is refused by one of the representing states, the appeal should be sent to the proper authority in the respective state. For example, where Denmark represents Iceland with the processing of Schengen visa applications, a refusal letter will provide the applicant with information on whether or not the refusal will be automatically appealed to the Danish Immigration Service or if the applicant should do so individually.
The policy of the Icelandic Government is not to interfere with a decision made by representing states, since the Icelandic Government has made an agreement with the representing states, to process the applications and make decisions based on their own assessment. All the Schengen Member States base their assessment on the same regulation set by the European Commission. In addition, the representing states are more knowledgeable with regards to issues that might affect the decision made on visa applications from specific areas where Iceland does not have a Diplomatic Mission.
Travelers holding an Icelandic passport do not need a Schengen visa to enter other Schengen Member States, as long as Iceland is a Member of the Schengen Agreement. However, Icelandic citizens do need a visa to travel to a number of countries outside of the Schengen Area. For a list of countries and their visa requirements for Icelandic citizens, please click on the following link:
Iceland has made bilateral visa waiver agreements with third countries (see table below) allowing for an extension of the period of stay in accordance with Article 20(2) of the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement. Citizens of the below listed countries may stay for up to three months or 90 days (depending on the respective bilateral agreement) in Iceland, regardless of their prior stay in the Schengen Area in any 180-day period.
For example, a holder of an Australian passport can stay in Schengen Member States other than Iceland, for up to 90 days and then stay in Iceland for up to three months.
