Depending on why you’re travelling and how long you plan to stay, you may require a visa for travel to the Schengen area. Check the European Entry and Exit (EES) and visa rules before you travel. If you’re a dual national of a European country, check whether the EES applies to you and what passport you should enter on. There may be delays at border crossings (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.
