Applying for a Visa
You can apply for a visa to Iceland in the countries and cities listed below.
Icelandic embassies issue visas in four cities: London, New Delhi, Peking and Washington D.C. In about 120 other cities around the world, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has commissioned other Schengen member states to issue visas on Iceland's behalf.
Many embassies and consulates use service providers to receive applications. Applications are then handed in at application centers, but the embassy evaluates the application and issues the visa.
The fee for a visa application is EUR 80 (EUR 40 for six to twelve year olds).
Application procedure
The application procedure differs depending on where you apply for a visa. It is therefore important to carefully examine the website of the embassy or application center in question to get guidance on the process of your application. You have to click on the relevant country (+) in the list below to see more information on where to apply.
Please note that all visa inquiries must be directed to the appropriate embassy or consulate.
Generally it is necessary to hand in a visa application in person. If all required documentation is submitted and no further documentation is needed, the processing time for a visa is approximately two weeks.
The embassies and consulates are generally authorised to issue visas without consulting the Directorate of Immigration. In some instances, applications are forwarded to the Directorate, which then decides on the granting of a visa.
Please note that the embassies/consulates in the list below only issue short-stay visas (C-visa) for example for tourists, business trips, family visits, official visits and short-term studies.
This list does not apply to the issuance of D-visas, which are issued to individuals who have been granted a residence permit in Iceland by the Directorate of Immigration. Information on where D-visas are issued can be found here.
