Research Declaration

Are you a foreign scientist planning to conduct research in Iceland?

According to Icelandic laws, official research permits are not required to conduct scientific research work on Icelandic dry land, with the exception of research on thermophilic microorganism. 

In order to assist foreign scientists to enter the country and undertake scientific research work and obtain clearance from customs authorities, the Icelandic Centre for Research issues a Research Declaration for foreign scientists that are planning to undertake scientific research work in Iceland.

The Research Declaration can be presented at customs upon entry to the country.
