How to Get a Student Visa for Iceland

Iceland Student Visa

Iceland Student Visa

Going to Iceland to study?  You are going to need to get a student visa.  This type of visa is designed for the person that intends to study in Iceland for a period of more than 90 days.  It is essentially a residence permit for a foreign student, aged 18 or older, to study at a secondary school or university in Iceland.  You must be registered as a full time student at a university, vocational school, or other studies meeting university admission requirements.

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).
