All About the Iceland ETIAS

If you intend to visit Iceland, home of Reykjavík, volcanoes and glaciers, you may need to apply for an ETIAS pass. This applies to you if you’re from a country that was previously exempt from needing authorisation to enter this Nordic country, such as the USA, UK, Australia, Canada and Japan.

Fortunately, the application process for getting your ETIAS is entirely online and takes just a few minutes. You can apply from your computer, tablet or mobile from anywhere on earth. You just need to type in some personal and passport details into our form.

This Iceland tourist visa enables you to visit for 90 days during any 180-day period. It’s a Multiple-Entry visa, meaning that you can travel to and depart as often you please during your visit, and it’s valid for 3 years. Once you’ve got your travel pass, you can visit any of the 26 Member States that comprise Europe’s Schengen zone.

What’s the Difference Between an Iceland ETIAS and an Iceland Visa?

First and foremost, you can only apply for an ETIAS if you’re from one of around 60 countries that were previously exempt from needing travel authorisation to enter the Schengen Area, of which Iceland is part.

This includes Americans, Australians, Canadians and Japanese. Find the full list of eligible nationalities in our ‘What Are the Requirements for the ETIAS for Iceland?’ section below.

Secondly, the ETIAS differs from an old-fashioned paper Iceland visa because you apply for and obtain this electronic travel pass online. So you don’t have to visit the embassy, take all your supporting documentation with you, or handwrite complicated forms. Instead, it’s all digital.

If you’re ineligible for the ETIAS and you’re not from the EU, you need what’s called an Iceland Schengen Visa to visit. For more information about the Schengen Visa, click here.

How Can I Check the Status of My ETIAS Iceland Application?

Your authorisation is sent to your email when it’s ready, according to the processing time you select when you apply.

If you don’t see your travel pass in your inbox after the processing time has expired, please feel free to check on the status of your application. To do so, go to the Status option in the main menu and fill out the contact form with your name, email, subject and query. We will get back to you as quickly as we can.

Alternatively, you can use this form to contact us if you have any questions about your application.

How Much Does the ETIAS Iceland Cost?

The EU charges X USD per person for this online travel pass. Note that the EU applies no charge for children under 18 or adults over 70, so in this case, you only pay Byevisa’s processing fee.

Byevisa’s processing fees vary from X USD for our Standard service (X days delivery), to X USD for our Rapid service (X days delivery) to X USD for our Highly Rapid service (X days delivery).

So in total you pay the EU’s X USD fee plus Byevisa’s processing fee, depending on which service you choose. For example, with our Standard service you pay a total of X USD (X USD European Union cost + X USD Byevisa processing cost).
