Directorate of Immigration: Residence permits - Types

I have international protection in Iceland and am applying for a permanent residence permit, do I have to prove secure means of support?

No, the condition of secure means of support does not apply to applicants holding a residence permit for refugees or on humanitarian grounds. They do not have to demonstrate secure means of support and social assistance has no effect on their applications.
