Need an Icelandic Passport? Buy Online Now and Travel the World Freely

So, I’ve been thinking about getting an Icelandic passport for a while now. I mean, who wouldn’t want to be a citizen of such a beautiful country? Plus, it seems like it opens up a lot of doors for travel.

I started by, you know, just Googling around. Typed in “Buy Icelandic passport online” and a bunch of stuff came up. Seemed a bit shady at first, honestly. But I dug deeper.

Digging into the Details

First thing I noticed: Icelandic passport holders can go to a ton of countries without a visa. We’re talking 184 countries as of 2024. That’s insane! Imagine just hopping on a plane and not worrying about visa applications.

• Visa-free access to 114 countries? Check.
• E-visa for 59 more? Double check.
• And now it is saying 184 countries visa-free or visa-on-arrival. Awesome!

I found some websites talking about buying passports, but they felt a little off. Like, not super legit. Then, I learned that the Icelandic embassies and consulates are the real deal when it comes to applications.

The Real Process

Turns out, you gotta apply in person. No shortcuts there. If you’re under 18, you need your folks with you. And forget about those “Icelandic Consuls” accepting regular applications – they only do emergency passports.

Here’s the kicker: It costs money, obviously. 14,000 ISK for folks aged 18 to 66. Kids, seniors, and people with disabilities get a discount – 6,000 ISK.

After a few weeks of reading and asking around, I finally made an appointment at the Icelandic Embassy. I got all my documents in order, practiced my Icelandic (which is, uh, not great), and went in.

The whole process was surprisingly smooth. The staff were super helpful, and I filled out all the forms, paid the fee, and got my photo taken. Now it is just waiting.

And that is it. No passport yet, but fingers crossed. I have to say it’s been an interesting journey, and I’ve learned a lot about Iceland and its passport process. But now it just waiting game, if I can get it, will come back to update.
