Here is an Iceland visa documents checklist to help you organize the required documents efficiently.

Yes, you can apply for an Iceland visa with dual citizenship. However, you must use the same passport throughout the entire application process and the one you will enter in Iceland.

To apply for an Iceland Schengen visa, it’s important to clearly demonstrate the purpose of your visit. Here’s how to provide the necessary documentation based on your travel reason:

 

  • Tourism: Submit hotel bookings, a detailed travel itinerary, and return flight reservations.

  • Business: Provide an invitation letter from an Icelandic company or business partner and details of any meetings or conferences you plan to attend.

  • Family visit: Include an invitation letter from your host in Iceland, along with proof of their residency and your relationship with them.


Tip: Strengthen your application by being specific in your cover letter, clearly outlining your planned activities and the purpose of your visit.

Here’s how you can apply for the Iceland tourist visa from India: 

  1. Gather Your Documents

  2. Log in to Axis 

  3. Book Your Appointment

  4. Submit Your Documents at the Centre

  5. Pay the Axis & Service Fee

  6. Receive Your Visa

Gather Your Documents:

Login to Axis: 

Visit the Axis website or open the mobile app. Select Iceland as your destination.

Tip: Begin your visa application process at least 6-8 weeks before your planned travel date to account for processing time and any unforeseen delays.

No, an interview isn’t always required when applying for an Iceland tourist visa. However, the consulate may request one if they need further clarification. The interview aims to confirm the details in your application, verify the purpose of your trip, and ensure your ties to your home country. While most applicants won’t need to attend an interview, it’s wise to be ready just in case.

 

If an interview is requested, you might be asked about your travel plans, financial situation, the purpose of your visit to Iceland, and your reasons for returning to your home country. The aim is to confirm that you are a genuine traveller who will adhere to visa regulations.

  • No, each family member, including children and infants, must submit their own individual Schengen visa application. Every applicant needs to meet the visa requirements and provide their own set of documents.


    Tip: When applying as a family, you can complete a single application with all your family’s details on Atlys. We then handle the individual applications on your behalf.

Yes, a Dubai visa allows you to enter and move freely within all seven Emirates of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), not just Dubai. The UAE comprises Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al-Quwain, Fujairah, and Ras Al Khaimah. Once you hold a valid Dubai visa, you can travel across these Emirates without needing additional permits or visas.

Here’s how it works:

1. Single Visa for All Emirates: The visa issued for Dubai is valid for entry into any of the other six Emirates. Whether your travel plans include visiting the beaches of Ajman, the cultural sites of Sharjah, or the desert landscapes of Abu Dhabi, your Dubai visa covers it all.

2. Inter-Emirate Travel: The UAE has a well-connected infrastructure, making travel between Emirates convenient. You can use various modes of transportation, including buses, taxis, rental cars, or even domestic flights, to move from one Emirate to another.

3. Airport Entry and Exit: You can enter and exit the UAE through any of its international airports, regardless of the Emirate where your visa was issued. For instance, if you arrive at Dubai International Airport but wish to depart from Abu Dhabi International Airport, your Dubai visa will still be valid.

4. Stay Within Validity: While you can travel freely between the Emirates, ensure your travel and stay aligned with the validity of your visa. Overstaying your visa in any Emirate will result in penalties and could affect future travel plans.

5. Traveling to Special Zones: Certain areas within the UAE, such as the free zones, may have specific regulations. However, for regular tourism or business purposes, your Dubai visa will suffice across the country.

6. Border Entry Points: If you’re entering the UAE from neighbouring countries (e.g., Oman), your Dubai visa will also be valid for entry at land border points. Ensure you carry a copy of your visa, as you may need to present it at checkpoints.

In summary, with a Dubai visa, you can explore the rich diversity of the UAE without worrying about additional entry requirements for each Emirate. This makes it easier for travellers to experience the full range of attractions and activities the country has to offer.

A Dubai visa does not allow entry into other GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) countries. You must obtain separate visas for countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, and Kuwait.

To improve your chances of getting an Iceland tourist visa, avoid these common mistakes:

  • Incomplete documentation: Double-check that all documents are complete and accurate. For example, ensure that your bank statements cover the required six-month period, are signed, and clearly show your financial stability.

  • Insufficient financial proof: You must provide clear evidence that you can financially support your stay in Iceland. This includes providing detailed bank statements and proof of income that are consistent and free of unexplained large deposits.

  • Inadequate travel itinerary: Your itinerary should align with the purpose of your stated visit. For example, if you visit as a tourist, ensure your plan includes tourist activities and accommodations. Avoid unrealistic itineraries, such as visiting multiple distant locations quickly, as this may raise suspicions.

  • Inconsistent information: Always ensure that the information you provide is consistent across all documents. If you have previously visited the Schengen Area, your travel history should match the details of your application. Misrepresentation or inconsistencies can lead to rejection.

  • Unclear purpose of visit: Clearly state and support the purpose of your visit, whether it’s tourism, business, or family. For example, if you’re visiting Iceland for tourism, your itinerary should reflect stays in hotels or visits to tourist sites.

Generally, the Iceland Schengen visa fee is non-refundable, even if your visa application is rejected, but when applied from Axis, under Axis Protect (free), you are eligible for a refund.

If your Iceland tourist visa application is rejected, you have several options to address the situation:

  • Reapply for your visa: After a rejection, you can submit a new application once you have addressed the reasons for the denial. Ensure that all your documents are complete and accurate before reapplying. If the rejection was due to minor issues, such as missing or incomplete documents, reapplying with corrected paperwork significantly improves your chances of approval.

  • Appeal the rejection: You also have the option to appeal the decision within 30 days of receiving the rejection notice. To do this, gather any missing documents or additional information and write a persuasive appeal letter explaining why your visa should be granted.

  • Consider professional assistance: If the visa process seems overwhelming, consider hiring a visa service provider or consulting with an immigration lawyer. They can help you prepare a thorough application, ensuring all criteria are met, which can greatly increase your chances of success.


Tip: If you decide to reapply, seeking help from an authorised visa service provider can enhance your chances of obtaining the visa.

Yes, you can apply for a Schengen visa even if you have previously overstayed, but you will need to provide a thorough explanation of the reason for the overstay.


Tip: Providing a detailed explanation with proof, such as medical records if the overstay was due to illness, can help mitigate the impact of the previous overstay and improve your chances of getting a new visa.

No, you cannot legally stay in Iceland or any other Schengen country once your visa has expired. Overstaying your visa damages your travel history reputation, and it can lead to fines and deportation.


Tip: Keep track of your visa’s expiration date and plan your departure accordingly. If you anticipate needing to stay longer, apply for a visa extension before your current visa expires. However, extensions are typically granted only under exceptional circumstances.
