Icelandic Embassies Abroad
Washington, London, Paris, Brussels, Bonn, Moscow, Copenhagen, Stockholm,
Oslo. Some 125 Icelandic Consulates around the world also issue travel
documents when required. Citizens of all West European countries, some Eastern
ones and of North America are exempt from visas. This applies to a number of
Latin American, Asian and African countries as well. Citizens of the Federal
Republic of Germany only need an identification card, and citizens of all the
Nordic countries need no travel documents.
Documents for Motorists
A nonresident bringing a private motor vehicle into Iceland must present
the vehicle's registration book, an international motor insurance card and an
international driving license. A customs permit for motor vehicles is limited
to the traveller's estimated stay in Iceland, at the end of which the vehicle
must be re-exported. This permit is automatically cancelled if the traveller
accepts paid employment in Iceland.
Health Regulations
For health and other reasons the following items may not be brought into
Iceland unless special import requirements have been met: 1) Live animals and
birds. 2) Uncooked meat and meat products. 3) Eggs and other poultry products.
4) Butter. 5) Medicines, except small amounts for personal use. 6) Narcotics
and poisons. 7) Firearms and ammunition. It is prohibited to use fishing
equipment, including waders and rubber boots, which has been used while
angling abroad, unless such equipment has been disinfected according to valid
rules.
Customs
A nonresident may bring into Iceland free of duty all wearing apparel,
ordinary travel equipment and personal articles owned by him and in his
possession at the time of arrival, if the items are appropriate and intended
for his own use and not for sale. They must be taken out of Iceland on the
traveller's departure. Small gifts, deemed by customs officers to be
appropriate and of low value, are also dutyfree. Travellers 20 years or older
may bring free of duty one bottle (1 liter) of spirits not exceeding 47 vol.%
and one bottle (1 liter) of wine not exceeding 21 vol. %.
