This page has been reviewed and verified by Michael Gibbons, Regulated Immigration Advisor. For application guidance, see How to Apply for an Iceland Visa (2025).

If you are applying for an Iceland Schengen Visa, it’s important to know where to submit your application and how to contact the correct authorities. Iceland is a member of the Schengen Area, but it does not maintain embassies in every country. In many regions, Icelandic visa processing is handled through the embassies of Denmark or Norway, or through VFS Global Visa Application Centres.
