- I've been getting a lot of messages about working on a farm in Iceland and since I've been working here for quite a while, I decided to make it easier for myself and make a video where I tell you everything I know about working in Iceland - what jobs can you get, how much money will you make, how much money will you spend and save? Hope this helps!

Hi Petr, Thanks for your informative videos. I'm curious how long it took you to learn Icelandic. Ps Iceland and Japan are two of my favorite countries and I'm fortunate to have traveled there.
Honestly even after 6 years I cant speak fluently, in hospitality you need english more than icelandic. So I learned a little bit but not much. 😬
@@PetrHerold it's a very difficult language to learn. But good on you for trying.
thank you verry much
nice video, im studying energy engineering and i wanna focus in wind/hydro but im interested in geothermal, hopefully i can get a job in the energy industry in iceland

Thanks for the useful information.
But If it's possible please share any recruitment agency for restaurant.
And what is the work visa process.
Is it possible or what are the chances to get a job if i come on tourist visa.
Hey Pawan, there isnt really any agency for that, I know only the one I shared. Other jobs you have to find on your own. It’s also not possible to work without visa, or at least it’s illegal. And as I mentioned in the video I dont have experience with the visa process :/

Hi Petr..wonderful information. do you get jobs in IT consulting and Sales ?
Some people probably do. But I don’t think people go to Iceland to work in IT consulting and sales, the country is too small for you to actually grow and have a career.

600 E of savings is not worth the effort unless you love Iceland :-) Many EU East European students (and not only) would like to work some 3 months during the summer...however...with around 1000 E the cost of travel + some 500 just to get settled somewhere...do the math. And I was told by some friends of mine that the cost of food is just shocking.
I have mentioned 600€ just to not give high hopes, but that’s like the absolute minimum if you don’t care about anything and just spend your money. A lot of people come to work for summer and they don’t complain and always come back, so I guess they’re saving enough. :)
@@PetrHerold OK...be it 1000 E...still not motivating enough...unless the one is really enjoying the place, the work etc.
That’s ok, I dont need to sell you on Iceland 😅 this video is for people who want to work in Iceland, not people who don’t want to work there.
I want to work in iceland
Heya whats the basic pay for Iceland Supermarket Grocery clerk Position..

Interesting Peter, watching you from the Islands of the Pacific. Papua New Guinea. 😊
Wow Papua New Guinea! Always wanted to visit!
@@PetrHerold You can come for a visit if everything about this covid restrictions a bit loosen up.
When world gets a bit better, I’ll start traveling again for sure and visit your country! :)
@@PetrHerold Yes
@@PetrHerold PNG for foreigners can be more expensive than Iceland...so work hard and increase your savings :-)

Hahaha thanks!
@@PetrHerold can u provide job offer and help for visa process i m from india
Unfortunately I can’t. I’m just an employee.
Ahoj Petře, jedu na Island na blind v tomhle roce na konci května. Slyšel jsem, že kenitalu Ti muže zařídit zaměstnavatel. Doufám, že práci najdu cca do měsíce a tak bych to spis nechal na zaměstnavateli, nebo si myslíš, že je moudřejší si to oběhat, abych nemusel za měsíc dom, protože bych třeba v daný měsíc nic nenašel? 😊
Je lepší si to asi nechat udělat u zaměstnavatele, protože kromě toho potřebuješ i to jejich social security number, ktere ti zařídí zaměstnavatel ne? To potřebuješ pokud tam chceš pracovat
HI Petr,
I know that's a pretty tough question. I am from Bulgaria (EU member) and I am planning to move to Iceland this winter. I am an IT specialist and I do believe that at some point I'd manage to find such a job there. My question is - approximately how much money will I need to survive the first two months or so without having a job? Like 6-7k E? Or maybe more?
Also, can you get kennitala without having a job? Can you apply for it on arrival? And is it common to stay in AirBnb apartment until you get kennitala?
Thanks in advance.
Hmm, let's see. I think you'll need at least 100k ISK for a room, more if you want an apartment for yourself (I don't how much are monthly airbnbs). Let's say at least 50k for food. Depending if you want to rent a car or buy a car - probably better option if you want to stay long term, but let's say monthly rent of a car 70k. So that's 1600€ right there per month plus whatever extra you might spend. Let's round it up to 2000€ just in case.
If you want kennitala but don't have a job yet with employer who can vouch for you and your income, you need to "demonstrate capacity for financial support" for at least 3 months. The monthly minimum is 217.799 ISK so you need to prove you have at least 653.397 ISK (4650 €).
Hey, did you end up moving to Iceland, if you don't mind me asking?
@@Coyannn nah, I found it extremely difficult and almost equal to zero to find an IT job when applying from abroad. Even if I match all the requirements they listed, all the time I’ve been getting the generic response saying ‘thank you for applying, we’re impressed by ur skills but we decided not to move with ur application’. So at some point I just gave up. Probably will start applying again but it’s not gonna happen in the near future, it’s pointless and it’s waste of time.
😍How to come to island ?
Dear brother i am from India can I get job in Iceland
8:23 I'm Polish, I might have a chance 🥳
Hi

Thank you! And as I mentioned in the video, you could try Nínukot, it's the only agency I know about. :)
Thank you buddy 😘
🙏🏻 thank you
@@PetrHerold for Malta or for Iceland
Ok frend I have subscribe your youtube channel ...
Hey can you tell me how to get a job as a biotechnologist or as a medical coder in hospitals or clinics, and how much is the payment for these jobs
Look it up doofus. Your just lazy.
So... there is a one reason why I can be thankful for being Polish... it may be a little easier to find a job in Iceland, haha. 😏 I'm considering moving to Iceland or Sweden. The more I know, the more difficult it seems. Good luck and thank you 🌿
Haha! Glad you found it useful, good luck in your job search! :)
@@PetrHerold I got a job in Reykjavik. 😄 feel so happy, I need to share it everywhere. Thank you for your videos about Iceland, will be useful. Cant imagine livinig without trees... 😉 Okay, there are few in Reykjavik. 😁

Petr what about the IT industry? Is there any space ? any opportunity?
Possibly but I dont have experience in the field.
I’m a Nigerian, I’m looking to move into Iceland 🇮🇸 with my kids , to study and work. Please what would you advise.
Hi oni, i’m with yu on dis.
My name is my handle everywhere, please msg me
Hey! As far as I know, it is possible (mean legal) for EU citizens to work in Iceland for up to 3 months even without registration (Kennitala etc.) How does this work in practice, as far as you know? Thanks for the answer!
Hey! I think you always need a kennitala but it’s not an issue to aquire it, just sign up online and you’ll get a number basically. For three months you dont really need to deal with anything else, if it was longer then you can sign up for domicile and health insurance etc.
As far as I know my coworkers that came to help just for few weeks/months needed just the kennitala and that was it :)
@@PetrHerold Super, thank you for your (fast) response!:)
if I come in Iceland on turist visa, can I convert to work permit???
nah you cant you need to issue by your parliament A Visa / Passport and go back to your country to renew it every time it expires prior to some weeks if there ain't any Arab or where you come from parliament which i guarantee there ain't any. A Tourist visa is only to go for some months and go back to your country honestly i don't want to sound racist here but if you heard the guy Iceland sounds like they line ppls due to their originity they help their ppls then the ppls that born there and then want to return and then the rest of the world so i assume first comes eu then muslims blacks etc which from what i heard there is 0 ppls of such originity i mean there are a minority but not like in germany where every 2 meters are 100 ppls from turk india arab etc etc thats why i want to move out of germany f^^^^ Merkel and the president my advice is to go with tourist visa if you want see how it is and then decide if you want to live there because it aint like the warm climate you have where you live its cold all day long all year weather is nothing like there hell even in germany now is snowing at march but melting fast can you believe that i even saw a video that there is like mery christmas right now at least in may it will start to be 24/7 day until september but still it will be cold thats all you can stay as long with that touristic visa here as you dont look for work after that you need legit normal Visa/Passport even then you need to renew it every some years that will require you to fly back to your country which might be tedious work just to fly back to Iceland unless you are lucky and have a parliament of your country there which i believe that must be impossible lol
Hey bro when is best time to find tourism jobs in Iceland .. I hold a eu passport ..
Hey Bryson, I mentioned in the video that best time is probably April, but I would say anything between March and May and throughout the summer. Maybe you can find some jobs in winter but there will be less of them.

Hello bro, can Indian chartered accountant can get job in iceland

Hello Sir , I am plannig to do Phd in Odontology from University of Iceland. How are job prospects for Phd Degree Holders?
Hi Saurabh! I mentioned in the video that I don’t know about these qualified positions, there is probably not many of them but I really dont have experience with that.
In your case, the University of Iceland would be your best resource (your first port-of-call) to (help you) find your footing in Iceland! However, As Petr Emphasized, It Can Make A World Of Difference Where You Are/Come From, And How (Much) In Demand Your Specialty/Field (of study) Is In Iceland; Good Luck!!
Hello Surabh, i am also planning for Master's in Electrcial and Computer Engineering from University of Iceland. What's your progress?
