It is mandatory to schedule an appointment for an Iceland visa interview. The embassies and consulates representing Iceland do not receive walk-in applications.

In most of the countries, you can schedule the appointment online. However, in others, the applicant must make an appointment in person. For more in this regards, you should check with the diplomatic body representing Iceland in your country of residence.

Attend the Visa Interview

The visa interview is a meeting between you and the consular officer/interviewer. During this interview, the consular officer will ask you several questions about you and your intended trip. You will also be submitting the required documents throughout the meeting, to the interviewer.

You should pay attention to several things before and after the interview. First, show up on time at the appointment center. Wear something comfortable, which looks a bit more serious. Try not to be nervous.

During the interview, answer each question that the interviewers ask. Do not provide extra unnecessary information to the interviewer.  Smile time after time. At the end of the interview, thank the consular officer for their time.

What If My Iceland Schengen Visa Is Rejected?

If you receive a negative answer in your Iceland Schengen visa application, this does not mean you cannot ever travel to Iceland. In fact, you have two options.

1. File an appeal for Iceland Schengen visa rejection if you believe that the decision to deny you a visa is unjust. You should have a strong basis for your complaint. You can appeal this decision by writing an appeal letter for an Iceland Schengen visa rejection.

2. Reapply by correcting the mistakes you did in your previous application. Or improve your situation in order to comply with the eligibility criteria for an Iceland Schengen Visa.

Can My Iceland Schengen Visa Be Revoked?

Yes, your Iceland Schengen visa can be revoked, if you no longer meet the conditions for issuing the visa.

How Long Can I Stay in Iceland Valid Visa?

The validity of your visa is always indicated in the visa sticker in your passport. The validity varies depending on your case. It may be for three days, two weeks, and even 90 days. The period within which you can spend this period of days in Iceland is also mentioned in your visa.

The validity of a short-stay visa to Iceland is 90 days within 6 months, maximally. This means that you will not be permitted to remain in Iceland for more than 3 months within a period of 6 months. If you travel to the rest of the Schengen countries, those days will be counted too.

However, that does not mean that you will be issued a three-month valid visa to Iceland.

The diplomatic body representing Iceland and processing your visa application in your country of residence is the one that decides on the validity of your visa, the permitted duration of stay and the permitted number of entries. When it comes to these three, please pay attention to their differences:

• Duration of stay: this is the number of days you are permitted to remain in Iceland and the whole territory of Schengen. If it says 15 days, then you cannot stay any longer than 15 days.

• Visa Validity: This is the period within which you can stay in Iceland. I.e. if your visa is valid from 1 March to 30 March, but the duration of stay is 15 days, then this means you can spend those 15 days within this period (from 5 to 20 March, for example).

• The number of entries: This is the number that stipulates how many times you can enter Iceland with that visa. Note that if the number of entries is two, but the duration of stay is 15 days, this does not mean you can spend 15 days in Iceland each time you enter. It rather means that you can spend 15 days in total in Iceland.

All this information is given in the visa sticker affixed in your passport. Learn here how to read a Schengen visa sticker!

Can I Extend my Iceland Schengen Visa?

If you are wondering if you can extend your stay in Iceland beyond the permitted duration of stay, then you should know an Iceland visa extension is permitted only in some very specific cases. I.e. if you show proof that you cannot leave Iceland because of force majeure or humanitarian reasons preventing you from leaving.
