Estimated time for work permit issuance

Typically, the procedure of work permit issuance in Iceland takes between 7 to 30 working days to process a Iceland work permit.

Major steps to get a work permit in Iceland

Iceland belongs to the Schengen region. This allows citizens of the EU/EEA and some other countries to travel to Iceland without a visa; visit the Útlendingastofnun website for a list of these countries. However, remember that this only applies to short-term visits, like business trips or vacations. If you are not an EU/EEA citizen or are moving to Iceland to work, you will need a valid residence and work permit as well as a visa. Generally, there are two types of Schengen visa for nationals of non-EU/EEA countries, which enable free movement between all countries within the Schengen Zone: the C-visa applies to tourists who visit Iceland for up to 90 days, while the D-visa applies to expats who will be studying, working or living permanently in Iceland.
