A very important part of your Iceland Visa application process is filing your application at the right place.
When it comes to filing your Iceland visa application, you should note that Iceland embassies across the world do not admit visa applications. Instead, Iceland has outsourced visa admission to other Schengen countries.
Where to Apply for an Iceland Visa?
Depending on how the other country has regulated visa submission in your country of residence, you may have to apply at one of the following:
- The Embassy of a Schengen member country
- A consulate of a Schengen member country
- A service provider
Please note that you should file a visa application to Iceland only if one of the following statements corresponds to your situation:
- Aside from Iceland, you will not visit any other Schengen country.
- You will visit more Schengen states, but Iceland is your main destination, which means:
- You will be spending more days in Iceland, than in other countries.
- You will be spending an equal amount of days in each country, but you will enter the Schengen Zone through Iceland.
In addition, you will be permitted to file an application for a visa to Iceland, only if you are:
- A citizen of the country from where you are applying
- A foreign citizen on a permanent/temporary residence permit in the country from where you are applying
You cannot apply for a short-stay Iceland visa from a country in which you are currently on a visa.
