Requirements for entering Iceland.  A passport is required, but no visa is needed for tourist or business stays of up to three months within any six-month period. U.S. citizens should be aware, however, that because Iceland is now part of the EU's Schengen area, the three-month period begins as soon as they enter any Schengen country.

For stays longer than three months, or for visitors who will be studying or working in Iceland, a visa is required. Applications for Icelandic visas Applications are processed by the Embassy of Denmark in Washington D.C., and the Danish Consulates General in Los Angeles and New York. The Embassy of Iceland in Washington, D.C., and the Consulate General of Iceland in New York no longer process visas.
