After graduating from Iceland, non-EU/EEA students can apply for a post-study work visa under certain conditions. The permit allows graduates to seek employment related to their field of study for up to six months.
Applicants must hold a valid residence permit for studies and prove financial stability. If securing a job, they must transition to a work visa. EU/EEA graduates enjoy unrestricted work rights under freedom of movement laws.
Early application is advised, as processing times vary. The Directorate of Immigration (Útlendingastofnun) provides detailed guidelines and required documentation for a smooth transition.
