Iceland Digital Nomad Visa

If you want to work remotely from Iceland, you can apply for the Icelandic Visa for Remote Workers, also known as the Iceland Digital Nomad Visa.

Remote work is considered to be the organization and delivery of work using information technology when the candidate is working outside of Iceland. They can be either employed by a foreign worker or self-employed. You cannot work for a local Icelandic employer or participate in the Icelandic labor market in any way. 

Your spouse, domestic partner or children may be considered family members if they are visa-exempt to enter Iceland.

How long is the Iceland Digital Nomad Visa for?

• If you are applying from your country of residence and are not coming to Iceland until a visa decision has been made, you can obtain a long-term remote work visa for up to 180 days.
• If you apply from your country of residence but enter the Schengen area before a visa decision is made, you can obtain a long-term remote work visa for up to 180 days minus the number of days that you spent in the Schengen Area country before the visa was issued.
• If you apply after entering the Schengen area, you can obtain a long-term remote work visa for a maximum of 90 days.
