EU/EEA Family & Friends Visa – Iceland

Hassle-free visa processing for your travel needs.

Overview

Schengen Visa is required for non-EU/EEA/Swiss citizens residing in the UK who are family members of EU, EEA, or Swiss nationals and intend to travel to Iceland together with or to join their family members.

Eligible family members can apply under a simplified process, requiring fewer documents than regular visa applicants and are exempt from visa fees when traveling together with their EU/EEA/Swiss family member.

This visa applies to the following family members of an EU, EEA, or Swiss national:

  • Spouse
  • Registered Partner
  • Child(ren) under 21

If you are unsure whether you need a visa, you can check Schengen visa requirements based on your nationality.

Eligibility

To apply for an EU/EEA Family & Friends Visa, the applicant must:

  • Be a non-EU/EEA/Swiss citizen residing in the UK.
  • Be a direct family member (spouse, registered partner, or child under 21) of an EU, EEA, or Swiss national.
  • Hold a valid passport/travel document meeting Schengen visa requirements.
  • Hold a valid UK residency permit (C-Type short-stay visas for the UK are not accepted).
  • Travel together with or join their EU/EEA/Swiss national family member in Iceland.

Processing Time

  • Applications can be submitted up to 6 months before the travel date.
  • The minimum processing time is 15 days, but delays may occur due to consultation requirements.
  • Peak seasons (Easter, summer, Christmas) may cause longer waiting times for appointments.
  • The Embassy may request additional documents or an interview, which could extend processing times.
