Directorate of Immigration: Residence permit - General conditions

Can I provide confirmation of a foreign health insurance?

Yes, you may provide confirmation that you have purchased health insurance abroad, but it is important that it be noted that the insurance is valid in Iceland.

Foreign insurance companies do not send confirmation of health insurance to the Directorate of Immigration, you must send it yourself.

Icelandic insurance companies send confirmation of health insurance directly to the Directorate of Immigration when it has been approved and paid.
