Bosnia and Herzegovina citizens can enter Iceland without a visa and stay for up to 90 days. You only need a valid Bosnia and Herzegovina passport at the border; immigration officers may still ask for a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and enough money for your stay. The 90-day limit usually counts calendar days from your arrival, so book your return flight inside that window.
Whatever your visa status, Iceland applies the same entry conditions to every traveller:
Iceland lets 93 passports in without a visa and requires an embassy visa from 105. Bosnia and Herzegovina citizens are treated the same way as Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belgium and Bulgaria. Overall the Bosnia and Herzegovina passport ranks #87 in the world with 74 visa-free destinations.
Planning a longer trip in Europe? With a Bosnia and Herzegovina passport you can also visit 43 countries in the region without a visa, including Andorra, Albania, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bulgaria, Belarus and Switzerland.
In the other direction, Iceland citizens can visit Bosnia and Herzegovina visa-free for up to 90 days.
