I would give anything to live in Iceland, I was stationed up there and now our base is closed................Stay there, you will be much happier!!!
2 :
I have a friend from there he brought his wife and three sons with him. He goes back all the time. You have to find an employer while you visit. You can stay with me for a while if you like. I want to go there to visit I like the cold. I also like Bjork.

Honey...you don't know how well off you are. This place is a stress out, overworked, money oriented society. Stay home and enjoy the peace and tranquility of your beautiful island with your friends you have known all your life and where families have been friends through many generation. We all look alike, dress alike, live alike at our respective income levels and are all a physiclal wrecks from fighting our way through traffic and a cost of living even we can't afford. Sincerely!

No A Schengen Visa allows free travel to all Schengen agreement countries but it does not permit you to work anywhere. You need to apply for a work permit for the country of interest. Each country issues their own. This will only be granted if you have the skills to fill a vacancy that cannot be filled by an EC national. This is tough to achieve. Ian M
2 :
Schengen visa for tourists (and tourist does not mean study, work or anything else) are generally issued by presenting an itenerary and the other required means of traveling to an embassy and are issued for up to 90 days in 180 day period. If you have been issued a Belgium Schengen visa valid for 6 months you may use it for its purpose that you have requested it, but neither for traveling to other Schengen countries nor for working in Norway or Iceland.

it wouldn't hurt, but it really depends on what work you're doing in the embassy. Some positions require language skills, some don't. Support staff, particularly if hired locally, usually have to be fluent in both languages.
2 :
If you are an FSO you will normally attend an intensive language training course in the local language before you get posted abroad
3 :
That depends on what kind of a job you'd be doing there. Some of their positions require good Icelandic skills, while other positions don't require applicants to speak Icelandic. When they put up job ads you can usually see whether Icelandic skills are required for the job. They usually describe the requirements and job duties pretty well.
