Reporting on foreigners working in Iceland according to Article 110 of the Regulation on Foreigners 53/2003

The duty to report according to the Article only applies if a service contract exists between an Icelandic enterprise and a foreign enterprise.

If a citizen of an EEA or EFTA member country, or a foreigner holding a permit equivalent to a unrestricted work permit in a EEA or EFTA member county, is in Iceland to work for a period of no more than three months on behalf of a foreign enterprise which is working on a project for an Icelandic enterprise, the Icelandic enterprise shall report this to the Icelandic Directorate of Immigration. This notification shall have reached the Directorate at least one week before work commences.

The Icelandic and foreign enterprises shall have entered into a service contract.  A copy of this contract must be attached  to the notification.

Notification is not an equivalent of a residence permit for the foreigner.  If a foreigner stays longer than three months in Iceland, he must apply for a residence permit himself.

Pursuant to law, the foreign employee shall be renumerated according to Icelandic wage agreements.

All notifications are forwarded to the Directorate of Labour.
