Work
-
A special work permit is not required for citizens within the EEA.
-
Non-EEA citizens must have been issued a work permit before entering Iceland. The first permit is always temporary and is granted to a foreigner but tied to a specific employer. The work permit must be granted before the applicant starts working. See information about work permit here
-
Employers apply for work permits, not individual employees.
-
Workers in Iceland have the same rights regarding wages and other benefits negotiated by the parties to the labour market.
-
It is unauthorised in Iceland to negotiate worse terms than general wage contracts provide.
