Introduction

Planning a trip to Iceland from Qatar? Whether you're dreaming of the Northern Lights, waterfalls, or the Blue Lagoon, you’ll need to apply for a tourist Iceland visa from Qatar — unless you're holding a Qatari passport. This guide gives you a quick overview of what you need to know before you apply.

How to Get an Iceland Visa from Qatar?

If you're a foreign resident in Qatar and your nationality requires a visa to visit the Schengen area, you must apply for a Schengen tourist visa for Iceland. Iceland is part of the Schengen Zone, so the visa allows travel to Iceland and other Schengen countries.

Qatari passport holders do not need a visa for short stays (up to 90 days) in Iceland.

If you’re a resident of Qatar but hold a passport from a country that requires a visa, you will need to submit your application through the Iceland visa application center in Doha.
