Embassies issuing visas on behalf of Iceland.

As of March 26, 2001, visa applications are only accepted in the following places. Icelandic embassies and consulates do not issue visas.

If you intend to apply for a visa for travel to Iceland in one of the following countries, you should contact an embassy in the respective country.

If there is no embassy representing Iceland in the country where the foreigner resides, the applicant must apply for a visa in the next country. In most cases the embassies are authorised to issue visas without consulting the Directorate, but if the embassies have questions, i.e. on the authenticity or purpose of travel of the applicant, the applications are forwarded to the Directorate, which will then decide on the granting of a visa. If all required documentation is supplied and it is deemed that no further documentation is required, the processing time for a visa is approximately 6 weeks.
