Just as a heads up for anyone watching this who isn't a European citizen, it's not nearly this easy if you're not from Europe, pretty much if you're not from Europe it's only possible to move to Iceland if you're married to an Icelander, a student, or a specialist / expert in a field that there's a shortage of in Iceland like heart surgeon or something.

@@andreaegeapato3510 if you're really determined to move to Iceland or at least spend a few years here, the student route is your best bet. Háskóli Íslands (University of Iceland) has open enrollment especially for programs like learning Icelandic as a second language. You could look into doing a program at University of Iceland for a year or two, and if you want to settle into Iceland in the long run doing the Icelandic as a second language program is a good idea because it'll also make it easier for you to find a job despite not being a European citizen if you can speak decent Icelandic. If nothing else it'll give you a taste of living in the country for a bit so you can really decide if you do want to stay here long term. There are hardships to living in Iceland I think a lot of people aren't aware of before moving here, it's very difficult in the winters here with how dark it is and how harsh the weather is, and Icelandic people are very difficult to talk to and make friends with because Nordic culture is very stand-off-ish and introverted compared to most cultures. If you do a program at University of Iceland for a few years and figure you can withstand the winter, and you're not only not put off by how antisocial Icelandic people are but even able to make some Icelandic friends, then maybe staying here long term might be for you and you might have some luck in finding a job here.

@@andreaegeapato3510 Iceland isn't part of the EU, but it's part of the European Economic Area and Schengen Area, so it's more like citizens of the European Economic Area and Schengen Zone have an easier time getting into Iceland. And even though Iceland isn't part of the European Union because they're part of the European Economic Area they end of having to follow a lot of similar laws and by-laws as the EU because of trade and diplomacy reasons.

I didn't have any experience in tourism, but I did have some experience in hospitality and customer service which was perfect for a Hotel Receptionist job. I really hope you can get a job before going, but it will be a little easier if you were physicaly there. You probably already know, but the tourism industry has taken a major hit so jobs aren't as many as before.

Hey Tabitha. Thanks for sharing such a detailed and informative video. Great advice! Ha..i also found the other KZfaqrs video which gave me the idea to apply for jobs in Iceland. I've been in Asia teaching English for two years and plan to get back to Europe around Spring time. I am planning to get started with sending out my resumes and see what comes up in the few months I have left here (Taiwan). Can I ask when you began applying and when you arrived in Iceland? I heard in the other video that a good time to apply is now (Feb) for the jobs starting at the beginning of tourist season. So yeah, just wondered when you applied because it sounds like you had to put some extra effort in after arriving, which is never a bad thing of-course! Cheers (:

Unfortunately I have no experience with helping anyone move from Uganda to Iceland - however, I have met quite a few Ugandans who have came to Iceland for school...I think Iceland and Uganda have a good relationship in that sense. If you are determined to find a job as a Ugandan citizen then you need to have skills/qualifications that are in demand. Go to the Embassy of Iceland in Kampala and they may just be able to give you further tips :)

Walking from hotel to hotel works if you want a job in a hotel - that was a last resort for me. The job I eventually accepted was got trough emailing in first, and being invited for an interview in a reply. By that time I was already in the country. If you want a job in a graphic design studio (for example) you would be better off sending in your portfolio first and introducing yourself and intentions with your move to Iceland. So yes, being in the country definitely helps, but knowing exactly what you want helps even more - Regardless of whether you are in the country or not :)

Hi Klody, sorry for this late reply. There are many jobs available. You should try checking out the Linkedin, Storf, & Alfred. Many other jobs are found through people you know. You'll be pleased to know the jobs in Iceland are not only physical, however most work environments it is useful to know Icelandic. Perhaps you could reach out to the companies you are interested in and ask them about their requirements? You can use Linkedin or go via their website for that. I like to view job vacancies with Google Chrome as my browser so it's easier to translate to English (if in Icelandic). I hope that helps.

Okay you told us you're interested in Iceland. If you didn't tell us why you wanted to move specifically to just Iceland as opposed to any other European countries such as Norway or Finland.
@TabithaLaker

The main reason was because it was the nature. At the time I really wanted to experience living in a remote(ish) type of place, that was sort of unspoiled land. I saw great opportunity there. I think that sums it up perfectly!

@@TabithaLaker Thank you. You kept saying how much you wanted to live there, but you didn't give the base element, which is unspoiled nature. I've been there (black male from Georgia, USA) before (photography is my passion), but mainly stayed in Reykjavik (I can never spell that right), with a tour of some of the nearby waterfalls. Stayed in a hostel next to the bus terminal, I think. But I'm heading back with a few friends this time, when the weather lightens up, so we can do the 'ring' road. Have you been there long enough now, to make some recommendations as to how we'd explore it, which company to rent the car from, what towns to stay in, beaches and waterfalls to explore and any hotels recommendations for those towns? Oh by the way, I was only black person visible, when I was there. That doesn't bother me, because I've been to Tahiti, Korea, Japan, Australia and Singapore, and found myself as only one of a few black faces. So you popping up on you tube and the other lady, Jewell, are quite a surprise. ....oh now, I see another video saying you left Iceland. Dang. I have relative in Germany, but that has not been on my visit list.

Here's a taste of what's in store for Iceland. Regarding different ethnic groups, here's the latest from Finland: "In the Nordic countries, university admissions work solely on grades, which leaves no room to account for different student contexts. This creates inequality, as it incorrectly assumes everyone to have the same background and opportunities to receive excellent grades. In the interview, Vesa Puuronen agrees that “the Nordic university admissions system does not include any attempts to level inequalities”." So, not due to any fault of native Finns, but simply due to the fact that often different ethnic groups don't integrate well, now native born Finns, with the same or better grades, are going to be passed over in favor of non-native immigrants, or just someone of a different ethnicity. Can you imagine how this would make you feel and your identity as a Finn, when the government forces penalties on one in order to benefit another (done in the USA all the time). It pisses us off! It makes us less empathetic. It makes us distrust the government. Be less civic minded, etc. You create an environment where people become more individualistic and try to protect their own interests, even at the expense of the community. For all you people who think Iceland or Scandinavia is "magical," the "magic" is in an ethnically homogeneous community. (note: it IS possible to have all the good things you want in a society and be ethnically diverse, BUT it is only possible with a common and strong religion, which, is not a reality right now, pretty much anywhere).

Someone helped connect me with a landlady who I rented a room from, for 7 months or so. Usually word of mouth is quite helpful. Facebook groups are also very helpful, I have found places there. Lastly, there are paid websites such as Leigulistinn that I have used a few times. But don't pay if you just want a room, because there is a major shortage at the moment, there are no rooms available there and they do not give refunds. If you want a whole apartment or house it might be worth paying for access to the website. I hope that helps!

You pay for healthcare but can get a refund on some expenses with your workplaces Union, however you usually need to pay upfront if you need any medication or treatment. The moment you arrive, register with a Clinic/ Heilsugæslan place. You will need your social security number.
