IcelandDo Syria Citizens Need a Visa for Iceland in 2026?
Syrian citizens require a Type C Schengen Visa to visit Iceland. As Iceland has a limited diplomatic network, applications are often processed by the embassies of Denmark or Norway on its behalf, or via VFS Global. Due to Article 22 prior consultation requirements for Syrian passports, the processing takes between 15 to 45 days. A pristine financial background and authentic bookings are mandatory.
