What Documents Do I Need To Visit Iceland?
U.S. citizens need a valid passport to enter Iceland. No visa is required for tourist stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Your passport should be valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure date from the Schengen Area, which includes Iceland.

Iceland is part of the Schengen Agreement, meaning your 90-day allowance is shared across all Schengen countries. If you have spent time in other Schengen nations recently, factor that into your Iceland visit duration.
Canadian, UK, Australian, and most European Union citizens face similar requirements. Citizens of other countries should check with the Icelandic Directorate of Immigration for specific visa requirements before traveling.
There are no mandatory vaccinations for entry, and customs declarations are straightforward for personal items. Iceland does have strict rules about importing food products, particularly raw meat and dairy, so pack accordingly.
