Do I need a visa to travel to Iceland?
No visa is required for French citizens wishing to visit Iceland for a tourist stay of less than 3 months. A valid ID card or passport is sufficient.
Formalities for French citizens
Iceland is part of the Schengen area, which allows French nationals to travel freely on Icelandic territory without a prior visa. Only condition: the length of stay must not exceed 90 days over a period of 180 days.
Required documents
- National identity card valid (accepted)
- Passport valid (recommended to avoid any problems)
- No other official documents required for a tourist stay
To remember
This visa exemption applies only to tourist, family or short-term business stays. For any stay of more than 3 months, specific formalities apply with the Icelandic authorities.
