There are 4 things you need to know before crossing the border when traveling to Iceland:
1- Citizens of the European Union, Andorra, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland only need their identity document (passport or national identity card with a valid date) to enter Iceland.
2- For countries exempt from Schengen entry visa requirements (see list), for stays not exceeding 90 days, a passport valid for more than three months after the end of the stay is required.
3- In accordance with the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement, passengers travelling to or from another Schengen state do not need a new visa, as this is a domestic flight.
4- Nationals of other states require a visa to enter Iceland, which can be applied for at the Icelandic consulate or embassy in the country concerned, for stays of up to 90 days.
AUTHENTIK ADVICE: Make copies of your passport before leaving for your vacation. Keep a copy in a separate location from the original. That way, if your passport is lost or stolen, it will be much easier to get help.
IMPORTANT NOTE: These laws and regulations may change without notice. We strongly recommend contacting your Embassy or High Commission before planning your trip.
