Safety and Security

Terrorism:  Terrorist groups and those inspired by such organizations are intent on attacking U.S. citizens abroad. Terrorists are increasingly using less sophisticated methods of attack – including knives, firearms, and vehicles – to more effectively target crowds. Frequently, their aim is unprotected or vulnerable targets, such as:

  • High-profile public events (sporting contests, political rallies, demonstrations, holiday events, celebratory gatherings, etc.)
  • Hotels, clubs, and restaurants frequented by tourists
  • Places of worship
  • Shopping malls and markets
  • Public transportation systems (including subways, buses, trains, and scheduled commercial flights) 

Crime:  Iceland has a low crime rate with rare instances of violent crime. Using common sense will go a long way in ensuring you do not become a victim.

  • Do not put bags containing valuables, such as your passport, on the floor in bars or nightclubs.
  • Do not leave your valuables in parked vehicles, even if the vehicle is locked.
  • Be aware that downtown Reykjavik can become disorderly in the late night to early morning hours as people are leaving bars and clubs.

International Financial Scams:  See the  Department of State  and the  FBI  pages for information on scams.

Victims of Crime:  Report crimes to the local police by dialing 112 and contact the U.S. Embassy at [email protected] . After working hours, call +(354)595-2248. Remember that local authorities are responsible for investigating and prosecuting crime.

See our webpage on  help for U.S. victims of crime overseas .

Tourism:  The tourism industry is generally regulated, and rules are regularly enforced; and professional staff is typically on hand in support of organized activities. Hazardous areas/activities are not always identified with appropriate signage. In the event of an injury, appropriate medical treatment is sporadic due to limited hours and geographic distance from care. Outside of a major metropolitan center, it may take more time for first-responders and medical professionals to stabilize a patient and provide life-saving assistance. U.S. citizens are strongly encouraged to purchase medical evacuation insurance . 

Local Laws & Special Circumstances

Criminal Penalties:  You are subject to local laws. If you violate local laws, even unknowingly, you may be expelled, arrested, or imprisoned.  Individuals establishing a business or practicing a profession that requires additional permits or licensing should seek information from the competent local authorities, prior to practicing or operating a business.  

  • Importation of whale products to the United States: All persons are barred from importing whale products to the United States.
  • The  Marine Mammal Protection Act  makes it illegal to bring back whale products to the United States. 
  • Any importation of products containing whale to the United States will result in the seizure of the goods and possible criminal prosecution. Penalties include jail time and fines of up to $10,000.

Furthermore, some laws are also prosecutable in the U.S., regardless of local law. For examples, see our website on  crimes against minors abroad  and the  Department of Justice  website.

Arrest Notification:  If you are arrested or detained, ask police or prison officials to notify the U.S. Embassy immediately. See our  webpage  for further information.

Counterfeit and Pirated Goods: Although counterfeit and pirated goods are prevalent in many countries, they may still be illegal according to local laws. You may also pay fines or have to give them up if you bring them back to the United States. See the U.S. Department of Justice website for more information.

  • Business Visas: If you plan to visit Iceland for business purposes, you will need to provide additional documents such as an invitation letter from the Icelandic company, proof of employment or business ownership, and a letter from your employer stating the purpose of your trip.

Iceland's enchanting landscapes, geothermal springs, and stunning natural wonders make it a must-visit destination for travelers from around the world. If you're planning to visit Iceland, it's important to understand the visa requirements and the rules of the Schengen Agreement, which Iceland is a part of. In this article, we will delve into the details of visa-free travel to Iceland, including the Schengen Agreement, the list of countries exempt from visa requirements, and the duration of stay.

The Schengen Agreement:

The Schengen Agreement is a treaty signed by 26 European countries, including Iceland. Under this agreement, these countries have abolished border controls and introduced a common visa policy for international travelers. The main goal of the Schengen Agreement is to ensure the free movement of people within this designated area. This means that once you enter Iceland, you can travel freely to other Schengen countries without the need for additional visas or passport checks.

List of Countries Exempt from Visa Requirements:

Iceland follows the visa policies outlined in the Schengen Agreement. As a result, citizens of certain countries are exempt from the requirement to obtain a visa before traveling to Iceland. The list includes countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, and many European Union member states. Before planning your trip, it is essential to check if your country is included in this list. You can find this information on the official website of the Icelandic Directorate of Immigration or contact the Icelandic embassy or consulate in your country.

Duration of Stay:

Once you enter Iceland under the visa-free regime, you are allowed to stay for a maximum of 90 days within a 180-day period. This period includes not only your stay in Iceland but also any other Schengen countries you may visit. It is important to keep track of the number of days you spend in the Schengen area to avoid any violation of the visa rules. Overstaying can lead to penalties, deportation, and future travel restrictions. Additionally, you should be mindful of the fact that after spending 90 days in Iceland or any other Schengen country, you must leave the region for at least 90 days before returning.

Documents and Requirements:

While you may not need a visa to travel to Iceland, there are still some essential documents and requirements you must fulfill before your trip. These include:

  • A valid passport: Your passport should be valid for at least three months beyond your intended departure date from the Schengen area.
  • Proof of accommodation and travel plans: It is advisable to have a confirmed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from a friend or family member residing in Iceland.
  • Travel insurance: Although not a mandatory requirement, having travel insurance that covers medical expenses and emergency evacuation is highly recommended.
  • Sufficient funds: You may be asked to provide evidence of financial means to cover your expenses during your stay.
  • Return or onward ticket: It is important to have a return or onward ticket to demonstrate your intention to leave the Schengen area within the allowed time frame.

By understanding the Schengen Agreement, knowing if your country is exempt from visa requirements, being aware of the duration of stay, and fulfilling the necessary document requirements, you can ensure a smooth and hassle-free journey to Iceland. Remember to always check the latest information and updates from official sources before your trip to stay informed about any changes in visa policies or travel regulations. Enjoy your adventure in the land of fire and ice!

Iceland is a stunning country that offers a wide range of natural wonders to explore. If you are planning to visit this beautiful Nordic island, it is important to be aware of the visa requirements and regulations. In this article, we will discuss the validity of a visa, the conditions and restrictions that apply, and how to extend a visa in Iceland.

Validity of a Visa:

When traveling to Iceland, it is essential to have a valid visa that covers the duration of your stay. The Schengen visa allows you to travel within the Schengen area, which includes Iceland. This visa is typically valid for a maximum of 90 days within a 180-day period.

Visa Conditions and Restrictions:

Overstaying your visa can lead to serious consequences, such as fines, deportation, and even future difficulties when applying for visas to other countries.

Additionally, the purpose of your visit must align with the type of visa you possess. If you are granted a tourist visa, it is expected that you will not engage in any employment or business activities while in Iceland. Violating these conditions could result in a refusal of entry or other legal actions. Therefore, it is crucial to thoroughly understand the restrictions tied to your specific visa type.

Extending a Visa in Iceland:

In some cases, you may find that you need to extend your stay in Iceland beyond the validity of your visa. If this is the situation you find yourself in, you will need to contact the Directorate of Immigration in Iceland before your visa expires. It is crucial to submit your extension request well before the expiration date to ensure sufficient time for processing.

When applying for a visa extension in Iceland, you must provide a valid reason for the extension along with supporting documentation. Common reasons for requesting an extension may include medical treatment, family emergency, or unforeseen circumstances. The Directorate of Immigration will assess your application and make a decision based on the validity and legitimacy of your reasons.

It is important to note that extensions are not always granted, and it is not recommended to rely on an extension as a means to stay in Iceland longer. It is best to plan your trip and visa in a manner that aligns with your intended length of stay to avoid any complications.

In conclusion, traveling to Iceland with a visa requires careful consideration of the visa validity, conditions, and restrictions. Always ensure that your visa covers the duration of your stay and be aware of the limitations tied to your visa type. If you need to extend your stay, make sure to contact the Directorate of Immigration well in advance and provide a valid reason with supporting documentation. By understanding and following these guidelines, you can have a smooth and enjoyable trip to Iceland.
