You can't just go to Iceland and "hang your shingle" because they have very rigid laws and regulations regarding attorneys. They aren't all paid the same salary like McDonald's does.

LOL!
3 :
BiG Money!

You would have to be educated as an attorney in Iceland. Attorneys can't just go to whatever country they want and work as attorneys there. The laws are different in every country, so you need an attorney degree in the country you want to work in. Attorneys generally make very good money in Iceland.

NOBODY can move to Iceland. It's one of the purest, most homogeneous populations on Earth, and they keep it that way. You're welcome to visit, though, if you can get a visa, but you'll have to leave.
2 :
Disregard the ridiculous answer that you received above! Of course you may apply for a residency permit BUT, if you really want to apply for a residency permit and you reside outside the EEA (which you do) then you need to apply FIRST in your country before you travel to Iceland for your stay. If you try to apply for your first permit while you are already in Iceland, they will send you back. It's all spelled out in the Directorate of Immigration, which I have included as a link below. I suggest you read through the entire website, as there is a lot of pertinent information about both Visas and Residency permits. I hope this helps and good luck....it's a beautiful country and can see why someone would want to move there. Here is the link: http://www.utl.is/english

How would an American be viewed in Iceland
How would an American be viewed in Iceland?
I would like to, in the future, live and work in Iceland. I plan on at least being at an advanced level of the Icelandic language when/if I move there. Since my impression is that Europeans aren't all that enthusiastic about Americans (dear god, I can't say I blame them. Going to Italy without so much as a phrase book and expecting everyone else to know English?), I'm wondering how I would be perceived. (I know Iceland isn't part of the actual European continent, but I wasn't sure what other category this belonged in.)

Iceland is in fact a part of Europe. If you are an American with a fair knowledge of the Icelandic language you will impress them greatly!
2 :
Iceland is very America friendly, and if you look at our culture closely it is much more "american" than "european". So it will be very easy for you to be and live here. Just don't tell us we are not a part of Europe. We don't like that. :)
3 :
Icelandic culture is somewhere in between European and American culture. We have a lot of influences from both, so we're probably more used to Americans and American culture than most other Europeans. Most Icelanders will welcome you with open arms, as long as you're respectful. You learning our language will definitely earn you many points. We like when immigrants try to adapt to our language and culture rather than expect us to adapt to theirs. By the way, Iceland is in Europe. It is not on the mainland of Europe, but it is still in Europe.

I don't have direct experience in living in Iceland, but have visited and liked it a lot. I moved from the US to Italy about 9 years ago - it wasn't a particularly easy process. One good place to research this type of move is the ex pat sites for countries that you're interested in. You might find some of these useful: http://www.escapeartist.com/iceland/moving.html http://www.alloexpat.com/moving_to_iceland_forum/iceland-immigrant-iceland-immigration-visa-to-iceland-f4.html http://www.expat-blog.com/en/directory/europe/iceland/ http://www.expatwomen.com/countries/links_iceland.php http://www.utl.is/english

i'm also preparing to relocate to Iceland, but i'm not there yet. i've already had a career here in NYC, so i'm going the education route to Iceland - the U of Iceland has a couple of programs for foreigners learning Icelandic. and i'm also working through the online course and books i bought there on the language, and i watch Icelandic TV on my computer just to listen to it. i'm not finding it all that difficult; it's just the completely different vocabulary (extremely few cognates to English) and all those conjugations and declensions to keep track of. once you get used to all the patterns a lot of it falls into place. it really is a beautiful country. i myself just need a change, and for me, it's a very big change for the short distance and time it takes to get there from here. good luck to you!!!
