Where can I apply for a visa?

You can apply for a visa to travel to Iceland in the countries and cities in the list below. In most cases the embassies and consulates are authorised to issue visas without consulting the Directorate of Immigration. In some instances, the applications are forwarded to the Directorate, which will then decide on the granting of a visa.

Except for the Embassies in Beijing, London, Moscow, New Delhi and Washington D.C. Icelandic embassies and consulates do not issue visas.

Many of the embassies/consulates below use service providers for receiving applications. Applications are then submitted at Visa Application centers, but visas are issued by the embassies/consulates.

If all required documentation is submitted and no further documentation is required, the processing time for a visa is approximately 2 weeks. Further information is available on the website of the respective embassy/consulate or service provider.

Please note that the embassies/consulates in the list below only issue short-stay visas (C-visa) i.e. 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.
