What do I need to know before retiring in Reykjavik?

Answer this Question

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Reykjavik, they said...

"Before retiring in Reykjavik, it is important to research the cost of living in the city and the regulations governing the retirement age. You should also look into the availability of healthcare and any other services you may need as a retiree. When applying for residence, gather all required documentation as required by the Directorate of Immigration in Reykjavik. It is beneficial to research cultural norms and Icelandic language to improve your understanding of the city. Additionally, familiarizing yourself with local laws and regulations can help make your retirement smoother. Before retiring in Reykjavik, make sure to visit the city or Region sometime during retirement so that you can truly experience life in the area," explained one expat living in Reykjavik, Iceland.
