About the Icelandic Embassy in Berlin
The Icelandic Embassy in Berlin is the official diplomatic representation of Iceland in Germany. It represents Icelandic interests and supports political, economic, cultural and security cooperation between Iceland and Germany.
Relations between the two countries are particularly close and cover trade, tourism, research, culture and international security. Iceland regards Germany as one of its important political and economic partners in Europe, while both countries cooperate closely within NATO and the Schengen framework.
Economic ties include trade in machinery, vehicles, fish products and aluminium. Germany is also an important source market for tourism in Iceland. In addition, German and Icelandic institutions cooperate in research, education, language and cultural exchange.
In addition to its diplomatic work, the embassy provides consular services for Icelandic citizens, including passport, emergency travel document and other official procedures.
Visa Information
Icelandic citizens do not need a visa for Germany. Although Iceland is not a member of the European Union, it belongs to the European Economic Area and participates in the Schengen Area. Icelandic citizens therefore benefit from extensive freedom of movement rights.
German citizens likewise do not need a visa to travel to Iceland. They can enter Iceland with a valid German passport or national identity card and may travel there under the applicable EEA and Schengen rules.
Because Iceland and Germany are both members of the Schengen Area, travel between the two countries generally takes place without routine immigration controls at internal Schengen borders.
Visa procedures are mainly relevant to third-country nationals. The applicable requirements depend on nationality, residence status and the intended purpose and duration of the stay.
