Iceland will need some 30,000 foreign workers to move to the
country between now and 2030, Icelandic business leaders predict.
Would you be up for relocating and living and working as an
expat in Iceland? If so, have a read of our short guide to the residency and
working rules currently in place in Iceland.
EEA/EFTA citizens
Nationals of EEA/EFTA countries do not require a residence
permit to live in Iceland. By virtue of their nationality, new arrivals from
these countries may stay (and work) in Iceland without registering for up to
three months, or up to six months if actively seeking employment.
After that time, EEA/EFTA citizens must register their
residency in Iceland with Registers Iceland, but no specific residence
permit needs to be applied for. Neither do they need to apply for a work
permit.
The EEA/EFTA countries are: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany,
Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia,
Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
Other categories of person not requiring a specific
residence permit include children of Icelandic parents, and spouses and
registered partners or Icelandic citizens.
Non-EEA/EFTA citizens
New arrivals hailing from a country other than the 32 listed
above must apply for an official residence and work permit if they wish to stay
in Iceland longer than three months and engage in paid employment.
Work permits for non-EEA/EFTA citizens are issued by
the Directorate of Labour.
Work permits must be applied for and obtained before moving
to Iceland. Work permits are issued in respect of various – but closely defined
– professional situations.
Only on the basis of a work permit issued by the Directorate
of Labour can the Directorate of Immigration grant the prospective expat a
residence permit based on employment.
The Directorate of Labour provides a list of registered
temporary-work agencies here. The European Union’s Job Mobility
Portal EURES (https://ec.europa.eu/)also includes advertisements for job
vacancies in Iceland.
This is just a short summary of some of the main rules
governing living and working in Iceland, intended as a first point of
reference. For more details – and all queries – please consult the website of
Iceland’s Directorate of Immigration and Directorate of Labour.
