Comprehensive guide for Icelandic citizens applying for a Vietnam visa. Find out about eVisa requirements, flight connections from Iceland, and travel costs.
1. Visa Options for Icelandic Citizens
As of 2026, Icelandic citizens are required to have a valid visa to enter Vietnam. Fortunately, Iceland is fully eligible for the **Vietnam eVisa**, which is the most convenient way to obtain entry authorization without visiting an embassy.
The eVisa allows for a stay of up to 90 days and is valid for both single and multiple entries. With this eVisa, travelers from Iceland can enter Vietnam through any of the 33 designated international border gates (including 13 airports, 16 land borders, and 13 seaports).
2. eVisa Costs and Processing Time
The official government fees for the Vietnam eVisa depend on the number of entries you require. Below are the standard fees converted from USD to Icelandic Króna (ISK):
- **Single-entry eVisa:** $25 USD (approximately **3,088 ISK**) - **Multiple-entry eVisa:** $50 USD (approximately **6,175 ISK**)
The standard processing time for an eVisa is 3-5 working days. We recommend applying at least 1-2 weeks before your planned departure from Iceland to account for any unexpected delays or national holidays.
3. Requirements for the Application
To complete the eVisa application successfully, Icelandic applicants must prepare the following:
- An Icelandic passport with at least **6 months of validity** remaining from the date you arrive in Vietnam, plus at least two blank pages. - A recent passport-sized portrait photograph (looking straight, no glasses). - A clear scanned image or photo of the passport data page. - A valid credit or debit card to pay the $25 or $50 fee online. - Details of your intended travel dates and points of entry/exit in Vietnam.
4. Flight Routes from Iceland to Vietnam
Currently, there are **no direct flights** connecting Iceland (Keflavík International Airport - KEF) to Vietnam. Travelers from Iceland will need to book flights with one or two layovers.
### Popular Transit Routes: - **Via Northern/Central Europe:** Fly from KEF to Copenhagen (CPH), Helsinki (HEL), or Frankfurt (FRA) with Icelandair or SAS, then connect to Vietnam Airlines or Finnair directly to Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. - **Via the UK:** Fly to London (LHR) with British Airways or Icelandair, then take a direct flight to Vietnam.
Total travel time usually ranges from 18 to 26 hours, depending on the layover duration.
5. Embassy Information for Iceland
There is **no Vietnamese Embassy or Consulate located in Iceland**. Consular matters for Iceland are handled by the nearest embassy in Copenhagen, Denmark.
**Embassy of Vietnam in Denmark:** - **Address:** Bernstorffsvej 30C, Hellerup, DK-2900, Copenhagen, Denmark - **Phone:** +45 39 18 26 29 - **Email:** [email protected]
