Important Notes

Afghan citizens must apply for a Schengen visa through the embassy or consulate representing Iceland in their country of residence. As Iceland does not have an embassy in Afghanistan, applicants typically apply through the embassy of another Schengen member state that represents Iceland for visa purposes (e.g., Norway, Denmark, or Germany). The processing time can extend beyond 15 days, especially for complex cases or during peak seasons. The visa fee is 80 EUR (approximately 87 USD, subject to exchange rate fluctuations) for adults, plus potential service fees if applying through a VFS Global center. Obtaining a Schengen visa for Afghan passport holders can be challenging due to the geopolitical situation and strict immigration policies.
