Iceland Family Visa
Going to Iceland to stay with family or relatives? You are going to need to get a Family Visa for Iceland (also known as the Family Reunification Visa). This type of visa is designed for the person that intends to study in Iceland for immediate family members of an Icelandic citizen or other Nordic citizens residing in Iceland, or a foreigner residing in Iceland who has one of the following residence permits:
- Qualified professional
- Doctorate student
- Athlete
- Humanitarian reasons
- Permanent residence permit
You are going to need to apply for this type of visa at the applicable embassy/consulate before travelling to Iceland (or anywhere in the Schengen area since Iceland is a member of the Schengen group of countries).
Go to my Iceland visa page for information about other types of visas for Iceland.
