Bhutan to Iceland: What You Need to Know
Iceland is a Schengen Area member, though not a European Union member. Bhutanese passport holders must obtain a Schengen visa to enter Iceland. There is no Icelandic embassy in Bhutan or India; Bhutanese applicants typically apply through the Danish Embassy in New Delhi, which handles Icelandic visa applications in the region. Iceland is famed for the Northern Lights, geysers, waterfalls, and midnight sun.
Practical Tips
Reykjavik (KEF) is best reached from New Delhi via London, Amsterdam, or Copenhagen.
