Islândia: o que saber antes da viagem
O essencial
- Check local volcanic, weather and road warnings before each trip.
- Sudden wind, fog or freezing conditions can make an ordinary-looking route dangerous.
Entrada e vistos
Iceland follows Schengen short-stay rules: visa-exempt visitors share a 90-day allowance in any 180 days across the area. EES biometric registration takes place at external borders; it is not an online pre-arrival application. ETIAS is not operating; official diplomatic updates expect 2027, with no fixed launch date.
Validade do passaporte: Non-EU short-stay visitors: issued within the previous 10 years and valid at least 3 months after planned Schengen departure.
Na fronteira podem pedir
- Carry evidence of accommodation, onward travel and funds; allow time for external border checks.
