Regulations on the travel of foreigners who have residence permits in Iceland, for travel in the Schengen Zone.

Citizens of countries which have signed the Schengen Treaty:

Citizens of Schengen Treaty countries, residing in Iceland and want to travel in the Schengen Zone, must be in possession of a passport or other recognized travel document during their journey.

Citizens of other countries:

Foreigners from other than the Schengen Treaty countries who have a valid residence permit in Iceland, may travel and stay in the Schengen Zone, in one or more of the treaty countries, for a total of three months in a six month period.  This applies to both citizens of countries normally requiring a visa, and those not requiring visas.

Same conditions apply for minors under the age of 18.

The Icelandic permits that apply to the above are:
