Directorate of Immigration: Residence permit - General conditions

Do I need a residence permit to live in Iceland if I have a residence permit in another EEA/EFTA state?

A residence permit in another EEA/EFTA country does not grant you the right to live in Iceland. If you are a citizen of a country outside the EEA/EFTA, you must apply for a residence permit to live in Iceland.
