Travel to Iceland
Citizens of EU/EEA states
Iceland is a part of the Schengen-area of Europe and belongs to the European Economic Area (EEA).
Citizens of Germany and citizens of countries of the EU/EEA area do not need a visa to travel to Iceland and are able to do so, as long as they have a valid travel document.
An ID-card is also valid as a travel document for citizens of these countries. Either the passport or the ID-card must simply remain valid during their stay in Iceland.
Traveling with Children
For children traveling to Iceland with only one guardian for example, an informal declaration of consent from the parents in English is sufficient. This can be obtained from the ADAC. The child should also carry copies of the parents' passports or IDs with them. Notarization is not necessary.
Citizens of non-EU/EEA states
Entry for citizens of non-EU/EEA states
Iceland is a part of the Schengen-area of Europe and belongs to the European Economic Area (EEA).
Citizens of a non-EU/EEA country with a valid German residence permit, which may be temporary or permanent, or a corresponding residence permit from another EU/EEA country, can travel to Iceland without an additional visa.
This also applies to tourists who have a valid Schengen visa.
The passport or travel document of non-EU/EEA citizens must remain valid for at least three months beyond their stay in Iceland.
Residency not yet transfered to new passport
Citizens of non-EU/EEA states, who plan on traveling to Iceland with a new passport, but their residency still hasn't been transfered over from their old passport, can still do so if they bring the old passport along that still contains their residence permit.
