<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-do-i-need-an-iceland-visa">Do I need an Iceland Visa?</h2>



<p>If you are visiting for tourism or business and hold a valid U.S. passport, you can stay in the Schengen area (which includes Iceland) without a visa for 90 days within each 180-day period. To stay longer than 90 days you must obtain a visa. However, starting in early 2025, to travel to Europe U.S. passport holders will need to apply for a ;visa<strong> </strong>waiver. This can be done ;through the EU’s ;<a href="https://travel-europe.europa.eu/etias_en">European Travel Information and Authorisation System</a> ;(ETIAS). </p>
