For comprehensive travel information please visit the official Icelandic tourism gateway Visit Iceland.

Citizens of Japan, the Republic of Korea and Singapore are exempted from the obligation to carry a visa on arrival in Iceland. The total stay within the Schengen area must not exceed 90 days in any period of 180 days.

Iceland is a member of the Schengen cooperation which exempts travelers from border controls travelling between 27 EU and EFTA states (Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein and Switzerland). A uniform visa issued by one of the Schengen states is valid for travel within the whole Schengen area.

The validity of the passport must be at least three months beyond the proposed stay, except for citizens of EEA/EFTA countries. Those documents only need to be valid beyond the stay in Iceland. For information on passport and visa requirements visit the website of Icelandic Directorate of Immigration
