Sri Lanka Consulate Reykjavik

About the honorary consulate in Reykjavík

The honorary consulate represents Sri Lanka in Iceland. No opening hours are published; arrange a visit in advance. To do so, call +354 892 4617 or e-mail agust.jonsson@centrum.is.

The office is in the capital, Reykjavík, about 37 km in a straight line from Keflavík International Airport.

Citizens of Sri Lanka need a Schengen visa for short stays in Iceland, as Sri Lanka is listed in Annex I of Regulation (EU) 2018/1806 (consolidated version of 30 December 2025); Iceland applies the common Schengen visa list.

Which Sri Lankan office issues passports and visas?

Passports and other formal consular services for Sri Lankan citizens are handled by the Sri Lankan Embassy in Stockholm (accredited to Iceland).

Sri Lanka 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 Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka in Stockholm. It is headed by Kapila Thushara Fonseka (ambassador, credentials presented on 5 March 2025).

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 Sri Lanka and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Sri Lankan 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.
