Good to know

  • Icelandic nationals enter under EEA free-movement rights; third-country 90-days-in-180 limits, funds, return-ticket conditions, and employment prohibitions do not apply to this route.
  • A stay beyond a short visit may involve free-movement residence conditions; the official German FAQ states Icelandic citizens have the right to live in Germany and need local registration after arrival and settlement.
  • EEA citizens are exempt from Germany’s EES registration and biometric collection requirement.
