The ICELAND Act would add Iceland to the list of countries whose citizens can obtain E1 and E2 nonimmigrant visas to work and invest in the United States. E1 visas are for treaty traders, while E2 visas are for treaty investors—both allow foreign nationals to temporarily live and conduct business in the U.S. This change would apply only if Iceland's government grants equivalent visa benefits to American citizens. The bill, introduced in May 2025, is relatively straightforward immigration legislation with no specified funding or implementation timeline mentioned. It aims to strengthen commercial and economic ties with Iceland while facilitating business travel and investment between the two countries.
