About the honorary consulate in Reykjavík
The honorary consulate represents South Africa in Iceland. No opening hours are published; arrange a visit in advance. To do so, call +354 661 0140 or e-mail andre@wolf.town.
The office is in the capital, Reykjavík, about 37 km in a straight line from Keflavík International Airport.
Citizens of South Africa need a Schengen visa for short stays in Iceland, as South Africa is listed in Annex I of Regulation (EU) 2018/1806 (consolidated version of 30 December 2025); Iceland applies the common Schengen visa list.
Which South African office issues passports and visas?
Passports and other formal consular services for South African citizens are handled by the South African Embassy in Oslo (accredited to Iceland).
South Africa has no embassy in Iceland. According to the diplomatic list of the Icelandic Ministry for Foreign Affairs (April 2026), the mission accredited to Iceland is the Embassy of the Republic of South Africa in Oslo. It is headed by Delores Camilla Kotze (ambassador, credentials presented on 17 January 2023).
What can an honorary consul do?
An honorary consul is not a career diplomat but a local resident – often a business person or lawyer – appointed by South Africa and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help South African citizens in an emergency (lost passport, accident, arrest), pass on applications and documents to the embassy, and certify signatures or life certificates. Passports and visas are not issued by an honorary consulate; they remain the responsibility of the embassy or a career consulate.
