The new European Entry/Exit System (EES) has started for all non-EU nationals, including Australians, travelling in or out of the Schengen Area. You’ll need to register at borders and have your fingerprint and photo taken. There may be longer border queues (see ‘Travel’).

Volcanic eruptions have occurred on the Reykjanes Peninsula in Southwest Iceland. Further eruptions could happen at any time and without warning. Avoid areas near eruption sites and areas close to mountains with steep slopes due to the danger of falling rocks and potentially dangerous volcanic gas clouds. If you’re in an area affected by volcanic gas, check media for updates and follow the instructions of local authorities (see ‘Safety’).

We advise:

Exercise normal safety precautions in Iceland.
