What Iceland may ask for

Not every traveller is asked for all of these. A valid passport is checked every time; the rest is a spot check at the border, and some items belong to a visa application rather than the crossing itself.

  • Passport valid 3+ months beyond planned departure
  • Travel insurance with minimum EUR 30,000 coverage
  • Proof of sufficient funds (approx EUR 100/day)
  • Confirmed accommodation bookings for entire stay
  • Return or onward flight ticket confirmation
  • Purpose of visit documentation or invitation letter
