Iceland Transit Visa

Iceland Transit Visa

A visa is not required to transit through Iceland providing that they do not intend to leave the international transit area. In all these cases, you enter the Schengen Area, and, unless you are exempt from short-stay visa requirements, you must apply in advance for an entry and stay visa in order to transit through Iceland.

As a foreign national, you do not enter the Schengen Area. In principle, you are not subject to entry visa requirements, with some exceptions. Certain nationalities are subject to visa requirements to transit through an airport in Iceland (Airport Transit Visa or ATV).

The standardized Schengen visa will be valid for travelling to all the Schengen States. Thus, a special visa for visiting Iceland will not be necessary.
