Current Travel Situation
Cuba to Iceland: What You Need to Know
Iceland is a Schengen Area member but is not an EU member. It does not maintain an embassy in Cuba. Cuban applicants must apply through the Icelandic embassy accredited to Cuba, or through another Schengen state's embassy that handles Icelandic Schengen applications on its behalf, such as Denmark or Norway in some regions.
Iceland is a unique destination known for geysers, northern lights, volcanoes, and the midnight sun. It attracts nature enthusiasts from around the world. Cuban travelers visiting Iceland will also be able to visit other Schengen countries on the same visa.
Due to Iceland's remote location and limited embassy network, Cuban applicants should confirm the exact application channel well in advance.
Practical Tips
Iceland is expensive by international standards. Budget accordingly and show sufficient financial means in your visa application. Book internal transport and popular tourist sites (such as the Blue Lagoon) in advance, as they sell out months ahead.
