Current Travel Situation
Laos to Iceland: What You Need to Know
Iceland does not have a large embassy network in Southeast Asia. Lao nationals may need to apply through the embassy of a Schengen state representing Iceland in their country. The Icelandic Directorate of Immigration processes visa applications.
How to Get There
An Iceland-issued Schengen visa allows travel throughout the Schengen Area.
Money & Banking
Iceland uses the Icelandic Krona (ISK). ATMs are available in Reykjavik and major towns. Cards are universally accepted; Iceland is one of the most cashless countries in Europe.
Practical Tips
Plan your application 4 to 6 weeks before travel. Note that Iceland uses the Icelandic Krona, not the Euro, though the Schengen visa is still required. Travel insurance is mandatory and must cover Iceland specifically.
