TRAVELING TO THE UNITED STATES

The U.S. travel ban barring entry to all foreign citizens in EU/Schengen countries remains in effect.
The consular section at the U.S. Embassy in Reykjavik has suspended all routine visa and passport appointments per State Department guidelines. Routine immigrant and non-immigrant visa services have been suspended until further notice.
We are not conducting any visa appointments other than those that are exempt from the travel ban (diplomats, crew, some physicians.)
We, and the entire State Department team are taking the issue regarding student visas seriously and are seeking ways to ensure that our aspiring and returning students will receive priority attention once routine visa operations can resume. The Embassy will publicize any announcement on the resumption of student visa interviews once information is available. Please continue to check our website for future updates.
Email ReykjavikConsular@state.gov to request an emergency appointment.
