Icelandic traditions of free sex - I live in an armful - it's very sweet. Discovery of Iceland: prospects for life and work for Russian migrants on the edge of the earth Icelandic women pay men

The story of the Spaniard Christian Banshi, who lived in Iceland for two years, may discourage many from going to the country of fjords and glaciers. The guy told how the climate, the mentality of local residents and tourists had badly affected him, and even admitted that he fell into depression and almost committed suicide. True, the same Iceland helped him to recover.

Born and raised in Barcelona, Christian Banshee decided that living in one place was not for him. That's why, writes Chris on Reddit, he went traveling and has been to Scotland and several Scandinavian countries over the past five years. He liked the latter so much that he wandered around them with a guitar for a whole year, spending the night in a tent.

Christian Bashee

Inspired by the atmosphere of the north, Christian decided that he must definitely live in Iceland - a country that he imagined as fabulous, not otherwise. The guy came there in the winter, when it was too cold to live in a tent, so he rented an apartment for himself and tried to get a job. And here the fabulous image of the country began to crack.

Since the guy had little money and he could not hold out for a long time without work, he had to get a job where they took him faster. And it turned out to be a hot dog stand, which in itself was already difficult for Chris, since he is a vegetarian.

As soon as working days began, Iceland appeared before the guy in a less and less rosy light. First, he was annoyed by the huge crowds of tourists.

Hot dogs are very popular in Iceland. About 10 years ago, Bill Clinton came to Reykjavik and said in one of the eateries: "This is the best hot dog I have ever eaten." I don't work at this diner, but not everyone understands that. So every day I saw huge queues of tourists who take pictures of me, record videos with me while I cook their food, and do not even ask me for permission. It feels like you work in an amusement park of some kind.

Christian Banshee

But besides the fact that Chris was annoyed by annoying foreigners and routine work, his physical and mental state was even more affected by a very small amount of sun. It was because of this, according to the guy, that many of his colleagues took antidepressants.

This summer, for example, was the worst in a century. The temperature is still okay, you can walk in a thin jacket, the wind is strong, really. But the sun ... It is only bright for three hours during the day, and for the whole of August I saw the sun itself only once.

Chris did not manage to make many friends in a new place. People in Iceland, he writes, are not very sociable, but many abuse alcohol. So much so that often Chris had to literally fend off drunken attacks on the diner at night.

A year later, Chris himself became addicted to alcohol. And then he completely went into depression, which brought him to three suicide attempts. Two years later, Chris decided it was time for a change. He quit his job and went on a month-long bike ride through Iceland.

Christian Banshee

Chris has traveled almost a thousand kilometers, and the feeling of routine has disappeared.

At five o'clock in the evening it was already dark. It so happened that I did not have time to get to the next city, so I had to spend the night right on the road. The rain and wind were very strong, several times I was literally rescued by other tourists. Yes, it was cool, but I will not repeat this.

By his own admission, the trip helped him cope with depression. He just recently returned from it and now shares pictures and videos from the trip on his Instagram and YouTube. And recently, on his channel, the guy published a whole video about his story.

Traveling to another country for a long time is a risky venture, but some people actually succeed. For example, a homosexual couple from England, who found a way. Everyone can repeat their experience, but there is a prerequisite - love for animals.

And while some people do manage to travel the world happily, not everything on their rosy Instagrams is true. This is proved by the experience of tourists from South Africa, who delighted subscribers with their happy pictures, but in fact

Immigration to Iceland is far from the most popular destination. But it is more and more common in Russia. In any case, many citizens are interested in this process. In particular, due to the fact that in the specified area social guarantees are offered in larger quantities than in Russia. Iceland is a country that supports the population in a variety of ways. Almost everyone has a chance of obtaining citizenship in this state. But what is required for this? How to conduct immigration? What documents may be required for this idea? All the nuances of the process will be discussed below. With timely preparation, you can solve the problem without any problems.

Double citizenship

Previously, immigration to Iceland was not of much interest to the population. After all, in this area it was allowed to have only one citizenship. This means that in order to become an official citizen, it was necessary to abandon the previous status. This did not suit many.

But in 2003 there were some changes in the country. According to the innovations that have come into force, citizens began to have the right to registration. That is, during immigration, a foreigner is able to hold several passports. There is no need to renounce your previous citizenship. And this is very pleasing. It was in view of these circumstances that interest began to show more interest in Iceland.

Common Ways

The first step is to pay attention to how exactly you can immigrate to the country. There are many different options for solving the problem. But which one is the most common in practice?

Immigration to Iceland is a very simple process. Most often, people apply for the appropriate citizenship by:

moving to the country for training;
employment;
marriage to an Icelandic citizen;
refugees.

There are other reasons why a person can be given the status of an Icelandic citizen. But about them a little later. First, you should pay attention to the most common ways of immigration.

Refugee status

What do you need to immigrate to Iceland? Today, anyone who wants and needs protection can take refuge in this country. A citizen simply needs to apply for refugee status. After that, obtaining citizenship will not be difficult.

To obtain the specified status, you need a good reason. As a rule, applicants do not encounter rejections too often. But they also meet. If the state recognizes a citizen as needy, he will be given refugee status. And along with it - a good security.

It is worth paying attention to the fact that citizenship is issued quite quickly. It is enough to live as a refugee in Iceland for only 3 years. After that, you can become an official citizen of the country.

Fortunately, this scenario does not suit everyone. If a person does not need real shelter, he will not be given refugee status. So, you will have to think about other options for immigration.

Education

For example, in connection with education. In Iceland, you can study in both Icelandic and English. And this pleases many residents of different fears. Why? This means that immigration to Iceland from Russia, with sufficient knowledge of a foreign language, will be much easier than it seems.

The procedure is extremely simple. Need to:

Pass language proficiency exams (such as English) and earn a certificate of proficiency.
Choose a university to study. Enter the institution of your choice.
Get a visa and passport.
Pay for the first year of study and obtain permission from the university to live in the country.
Submit documents and application for immigration to a specialized immigration office.
Get in Iceland through a consulate. It is issued if the immigration bureau is satisfied that the actions are legal.
Move to the country. You can start learning.

By the way, studying in Iceland is not too expensive. In a year, you will have to pay only about 500 euros. A residence permit is issued for the entire period of study. If you stay in the country for more than 7 years, you can become a citizen of Iceland.

Employment

This is not the most common direction. The thing is that people who have graduated from a university are thinking about obtaining a second citizenship and moving from Russia. The immigration of men to Iceland, like women, is most often due to employment.

There are several options for the development of events. Namely:

Work under an employment contract. It usually means employment in a narrow specialty.
Hiring unskilled workers when there is a shortage of workers in the country.

The first option is more common. In general, the process of moving to Iceland will be no different from immigrating to another country. This means that a citizen must:

Find an employer and conclude an employment contract with him.
Obtain a work permit from a potential boss. Plus, a person is given an invitation to work.
Apply for a visa and provide a diploma of education, as well as an invitation.
Get a residence permit and go to work in another country.

Together with a citizen, his family can also move. Usually we are talking about children and spouses. This is how people move to Iceland and get citizenship here. To do this, you will need to spend 7 years in the territory of the state.

Starting a family

But among girls, the most common reason for obtaining Icelandic citizenship is immigration for marriage. That is building a family. In this case, several conditions must be met. And it does not matter who we are talking about - a girl or a guy. The requirements for obtaining citizenship are the same.

What to pay attention to? For the status of the future spouse. What rules does Iceland dictate? Immigration for marriage, as already mentioned, is a very common option. You can become an official citizen of a country only if the following points are met:

after 5 years of residence in Iceland, 4 of which are married;
The spouse must have been an Icelandic citizen for at least 5 years.

There are no other essential requirements. That is why many either immediately move their families to the country, or initially try to build a new cell of society on the territory of the state.

For people of retirement age

All of the previously listed options for the development of events are the most common ways to obtain citizenship, as well as reasons for living in Iceland. Now it is worth paying attention to some other layouts.

For example, you can immigrate to your adult children. If citizen children can support their parents, then the father and mother over 66 years of age have every right to move to their relatives. After 7 years of cohabitation, citizenship will be issued.

Such immigration to Iceland receives not the best reviews. In practice, it occurs in isolated cases. Therefore, it is definitely not worth considering such an option as a way of immigration.

For children

Another far from the most common option is moving children to their parents. But here it is necessary to observe some conditions. It is because of them that families immediately try to move together.

What are the conditions for immigration to Iceland? This:

legality of residence of the child's parents in the country;
Children must be under 18 years of age.

However, children are able to acquire the citizenship of the country in several ways. What exactly? They are mostly suitable for young children. So what should you pay attention to? How can you become an Icelandic citizen without moving in with your parents? There are several options.

Other ways

To date, immigration to Iceland offers several types of citizenship for minors. Adoption is not the most common method. If a child under the age of 12 is adopted by an Icelandic citizen, then the child will automatically be assigned the appropriate status. Actual mainly for children from orphanages.

You should also pay attention to the fact that those born to children without other citizenship are able to become part of the country legally. To do this, babies need to spend only 3 years in the state. After this period, children are recognized as Icelandic citizens.

But that's not all. Children born to Icelandic citizens (whether indigenous or not) can automatically receive the corresponding status at birth. And if in another state dual citizenship is provided, then in the future it is possible to issue several passports.

Basic conditions

Despite all of the above, it is worth paying attention to what conditions and requirements for future residents Iceland puts forward. Immigration from Russia receives not the best reviews. In particular, due to the fact that not everyone can comply with the requests of the state. What are we talking about?

For adult citizens, the following requests for immigration and citizenship are required:

the ability to support oneself and one's family;
knowledge of Icelandic or English, sufficient for communication and living;
absence of tax debts;
being a law-abiding citizen.

There are no other essential requirements. As numerous reviews point out, immigration to Iceland is only problematic because you need a good reason to move. But if they are, then there will be no problems.

About real estate

Some believe that it is enough to buy real estate in the country to be eligible for immigration, as well as citizenship. Actually this is not true. In Iceland, the ownership of a foreigner is not a reason for permanent residence. In addition, foreign citizens cannot buy land here.

Accordingly, the availability of real estate will simply facilitate living in the country. Everyone should remember this. Otherwise, there may be problems with obtaining citizenship.

Documentation

What documents will be needed after the deadline for issuing a passport? You need to apply to the Ministry of Internal Affairs or, as they say, to the police station at the place of residence. They will issue a passport without any problems.

You will have to take with you:

application form;
identity card of a foreign citizen;
photographs of the established sample (3 pieces);
certificate of knowledge of the language (preferably);
documents on the absence of a criminal record and debts;
grounds for obtaining citizenship;
evidence of legal residence in the country;
documents indicating the marital status of a person.

Additionally, a visa and a foreign passport may be required. Citizens of Russia provide a civil and foreign identity card. This must be remembered.

WITH ARNAR WE MET IN CHAT
PART TWO ...

The native village of Arnara is a small village with a population of 700 people, located in the northwest, 200 km from the capital. On my first visit to Iceland, we traveled from Reykjavik by bus for 4 hours. All the way I looked at the landscape. These are almost uninterrupted snow-capped mountains, no trees, not to mention forests. Sometimes, even high in the mountains, lonely farmhouses came across, and I was seized with horror at the thought of how it was possible to live so apart from people. Thank God Arnar wasn't a farmer! :) For 200 km of the way we passed only one settlement - a town with a population of about 2 thousand people. And this is not considered small!

Iceland is a country of farmers. The most common domestic animals are sheep. In the summer you can see huge herds of sheep all over Iceland, and you need to be especially careful when driving, God forbid you run into a careless lamb!

Upon arrival in the village of Arnara, we were met by his mother - in a huge funny old (more than 30 years old) jeep of bright orange color. She doesn't care what she drives, and Arnar's father does not recognize new cars, he is "obsessed" with old ones, and his hobby is collecting them. In his collection there are 11 old cars from the 30s-60s, and moreover, everything is on the go. The meeting was very warm, I'm not lying if I say that my husband's parents turned out to be amazing people, young (now 45 and 48 years old), cheerful and very kind! And, in my opinion, they truly loved me. It is interesting that to this day it gives them pleasure to take care of their children, of Arnar and his older brother, although they have long been completely independent people.

I liked life in this village much more than in the capital. Of course, I lived in Reykjavik for only a few days, and it's hard for me to judge, but even going there now, I realize that I would never have stayed there.

The funny thing is that as soon as we arrived, a whole crowd of neighbors immediately came to stare at me. :) Exclusively all young people in Iceland, or people at least more or less educated, know English, so I didn’t have a big problem with communication, since I speak English well. Separately, about the Icelandic language, I must say that it is a very difficult language. Only interdental sounds in it two! And there are some that cannot even be described. By the way, the Icelanders are still arguing from which language their language originated: from Old English or Old Norse.

Thanks to my husband, I learned Icelandic relatively quickly. This is how he taught me: after a few months of my stay here, after waiting for my relative adaptation, Arnar began to speak to me exclusively in Icelandic, which at first even annoyed me when I did not understand anything, but using a dictionary, my father-in-law gave me a huge Russian-Icelandic dictionary, where there are such unexpected (read: obscene) Russian words that I, bumping into them, died with laughter - gradually I began to speak Icelandic myself, and now we communicate only in this language. Many local acquaintances often praise me about my language skills, which is very nice! :)

In his free time, Arnar taught me how to drive a snowmobile, it turned out to be quite easy, and he drives it himself - I just admired it! On it we went to one mysterious old house in the mountains, where, they say, a ghost lives ... Yes, if there is an end of the earth, then it is here .. The harsh and cold Atlantic Ocean, silent mountains ... Such silence, probably, and nowhere in the world is there, I heard my heart beat! And you will not see a trace of a human being here and no roads have been laid here ... Just the greatness of wild nature. There are many such abandoned houses in Iceland, and once, of course, they belonged to someone or still belong to them. In each there is a guest book, where all visitors leave signatures of their names and wishes to the owners.

And not far from the village of Arnara there is a completely unique place - a seal rookery. This is an island in the ocean where hundreds of these cute animals live. I have been there several times, because I just love this place, I love to watch dozens of curious heads sticking out of the water, swimming to find out who is standing on the shore. But seals are also very cautious - as soon as they feel danger, they dive into the water together and noisily.

I was delighted once when a pair of whales appeared in the fjord right in front of the window of our house! It turns out that whales are frequent visitors to the area. Although the fauna in Iceland is not very diverse, it is nice to see rare species of birds, for example, the bird that symbolizes Iceland in English is called puffin, alas, I can’t remember its name in Russian ... And what a delicious fish here! In good weather, Arnar and his father love to go out to sea on their boat and go fishing. Most often they bring cod and haddock, but my favorite fish are salmon and trout, which my husband catches with nets. So our freezer is full of fish all year round. :)

Icelanders, along with the Japanese, are the most "long-lived" nation. This is statistics. Yes, this is natural: there is wonderful sea and ionized mountain air, organic food, vitamins. In Iceland, everyone, young and old, takes fish oil daily, which is good for the health of Icelanders, and if the taste of fish oil cannot be tolerated, a pleasant-tasting version can be purchased. In total, there are two types of fish oil - from shark or cod.

I was also convinced of the high life expectancy of Icelanders myself when I got a job in a hospital, as they call this place here, but to be more precise, this is a nursing home. My job was to take care of the elderly - feeding, bathing, i.e. help in everything. Naturally, as in any other highly developed country, I expected impeccable cleanliness in everything, and therefore I was not surprised when my expectations were confirmed. My colleagues were extremely conscientious about their work and were very friendly to me. Older people have quite an active life. They go on excursions to interesting places in Iceland, needlework in bad weather, they are often visited by a priest and hold masses (for believers), old people visit the local pool. By the way, about the pools.

If we look at the statistics of migration flows of immigrants from Russia to different countries in recent years, we can understand that interest in the Scandinavian countries is growing every year.

It's fast and FOR FREE!

This is no coincidence - the standard of living in these countries is growing rapidly, and foreigners in these countries are treated very well.

That is why for Russians migration to Iceland is becoming one of the highest priority decisions in order to arrange their lives.

What you need and where to start

The most important thing with which it is always necessary to start the migration process is the preparation of documents for moving, as well as determining the city in which the person intends to move. These two components are the most important for any potential migrant.

When choosing a city to live in, you need to rely on several criteria at once:

Standard of living.
Prices for services and goods.
Climate.
Employment.
attitude towards migrants.
Opportunity to get a job or build your own business.

After a person has specifics on the issue of choosing a city, he can safely prepare documents and gradually think about the date of departure. These chores are the most pleasant for any potential migrant, and they never cause problems.

Documentation

The basic list of documents required for potential migrants includes the following:

Passport (original and copy of all pages).
Documents proving the financial viability of the petitioner. They may be a check for the purchase of a large amount of European or Icelandic currency, as well as a bank statement.
Medical insurance policy.
Color photos - 4 pcs.
A document confirming the presence of a place of residence in a new country - either a lease agreement or documents on the ownership of Icelandic real estate.
Receipt confirming the payment of the state duty.
Certificate proving the absence of a criminal record in Russia.

Iceland Migration Options

Currently, there are a huge number of ways to move to live in Iceland. This can be done by different categories of migrants - refugees, businessmen, qualified specialists, students, etc.

There are also certain preferential categories of migrants, which include young people who intend to marry an Icelandic citizen, or people who want to restore their family through migration. Let's consider these cases in more detail.

For men

As a rule, it is always easier for men to migrate to another country than for women, according to official statistics. Most men have recently been actively using such methods for migration as opening their own business in a new country, or obtaining a work visa.

Also, Russian men welcome migration through the conclusion of a marriage contract with an Icelandic citizen, or by acquiring a certain property in this country. There are no specific barriers for men to migrate to Iceland.

The most important thing here is to have a certain amount of funds for migration, as well as to have a crystal clear reputation, and this applies in particular to the absence of a criminal record.

For permanent residence

It is important to understand that obtaining permanent residence in Iceland is somewhat easier than in other countries. To do this, a citizen needs to live at least 3 years in the country. At the same time, it will be possible to obtain citizenship of this country, if a person has no relatives living in the country, only after 7 years.

Of course, this is quite easy to do if a person has his own business in the country, or he has a long-term contract with some enterprise.

This will allow the migrant to stay in the country for the necessary period of time, after which he can calmly submit the necessary documents for obtaining permanent residence and citizenship.

For the purpose of marriage

This method cannot be considered simple. Here you should definitely confirm your intentions to legitimize the relationship. In particular, it is necessary to provide correspondence in the state language, to prove the existence of a long and warm relationship in other ways.

And it will be necessary to live in the country for a certain time in marriage in order to prove the seriousness of intentions.

Employment

A work visa does not require a signed contract with any employer. You just need to come to the country and start working. True, within three months from the moment of arrival, the employer must sign an agreement in which it is necessary to describe all the conditions.

In this case, the employee must become a member of the trade union and become a partner with the pension fund. In a situation where a migrant intends to work in the country for more than 3 months, he must immediately apply for a residence permit.

University education

There are few educational institutions in this country - only 7. It is necessary to take tests in English. At the same time, training is quite cheap - 300 euros for a full course.

To enter, you must apply for a semester, when it ends, you need to write it again. After that, you can apply for a residence permit.

Refugee

It is important to prove the fact that a person is pursued by certain persecutions in his native country. This evidence can be videos or threatening letters. The commission is very loyal to refugees, but sometimes it is very difficult to prove that a person is one.

Family circumstances

Family migration is the easiest way to move to Iceland because family reunification is a priority for the country's embassy. There are no obstacles in this situation, and it is enough just to collect documents and submit an invitation from your spouse to the embassy.

At the same time, you should definitely understand that it will be enough for a person to simply obtain a residence permit first, and then apply for permanent residence.

Through the purchase of real estate

This method of migration is not used very often, because it is not the main one and many potential migrants try to avoid it, believing that it is not reliable.

In fact, this method is very simple, but only on condition that a person really has the means to buy a property. After all the technical aspects of the proposed transaction are ready, it remains only to formalize it after the fact and submit documents for obtaining a residence permit.

Video: Short news

Candidate Requirements

The most important condition for becoming a citizen of this country is the complete absence of a criminal record and any problems with the law. Otherwise, migration is not possible. At the same time, for more than 10 years in Iceland it is allowed to live with dual citizenship.

You also need to have a certain amount for your maintenance, or an employment contract with any Icelandic company. In general, the requirements will depend on which migration method has been chosen, since for students and entrepreneurs, for example, the requirements will have a big difference.

Citizenship

In order to obtain Icelandic citizenship, it is important for the potential recipient to meet the following conditions:

Have both parents who are Icelandic.
Be an illegitimate child whose father is an Icelandic citizen.
Pass the naturalization procedure - live 7 years in the country.

Under the latter condition, the period may be shorter:

The spouse has Icelandic citizenship, in which case you need to live on the island for 5 years, and 4 of them married.
If a potential citizen of Iceland's parents received citizenship 5 years ago, then he can count on this within 2 years.
Within 3 years, you can count on citizenship for children who were born in Iceland.

How and where is the easiest way to get citizenship

It is best to apply directly for citizenship in Iceland itself. You can also get the necessary advice at the embassy on the territory of Russia, however, the registration after the fact is best done on the territory of the island.

There are certain Russian companies that provide assistance in obtaining citizenship, but not all people trust them. This is a personal matter for everyone, but it is recommended to draw up documents on your own and strictly on the territory of Iceland.

Advantages and disadvantages

Among the shortcomings, it is worth noting the following:

Not the easiest migration process.
Expensive products and services.
The high cost of real estate.

If we consider the benefits in more detail, then they should include:

Well developed medicine.
Excellent environmental conditions.
High income after taxes.
Very low crime rate.
Incredibly low number of accidents.

The process of migration to this country really cannot be called easy - there are certain pitfalls that can delay the procedure. True, if a person manages to achieve his goal and move to Iceland, then he receives much more advantages than when living in Russia.

Migrants say that it is worth to endure all this simply in order to be on the territory of the island and see all its embellishments with your own eyes.

APPLICATIONS AND CALLS ARE ACCEPTED 24/7 and 7 days a week.

Emigration to Iceland after the collapse of the USSR from Russia was simplified, according to the reviews of our former compatriots, due to the lack of highly qualified personnel, especially in the field of sports. Iceland has contracted many coaches. At the same time, some migrants preferred to enter into fictitious marriages with citizens of the country.

The problem of mass migration did not affect Iceland in any way. Many Europeans, mostly Germans and Poles, work on the territory of the country at construction sites and other facilities. The list of countries whose residents prefer to move to Iceland includes the nearest Sweden, Denmark, Norway, as well as Germany and Poland.

Immigration to Iceland from Russia: conditions, methods

Find an employer and conclude an employment contract with him.
Obtain a work permit from a potential boss. Plus, a person is given an invitation to work.
Apply for a visa and provide a diploma of education, as well as an invitation.
Get a residence permit and go to work in another country.

IS ICELAND REALLY PAYING 5000 EURO PER MONTH FOR MARRIAGE WITH ICELAND GIRL

- I say again, they pay not for marriage, but for the fact that you live in Iceland - you receive social assistance. In principle, there are no poor people here, and the amount of 5,000 euros just covers current expenses. Regarding the beauty of local girls - everything is here, as elsewhere. Some are beautiful, and some are not. The only difference is that here girls are taught to take care of themselves from childhood - a gym, a beautician, beauty salons - here this is not a luxury, but a minimum that every girl regularly allows herself.

“I live in my wife’s house, so I don’t have to pay rent or a loan. Utility bills here are very high - for our house of 250 meters we pay almost 1,500 euros per month, but these are our common expenses with my wife. We practically don't cook at home, so we spend another 5,000 euros a month on restaurants. Also, I bought myself a new Mercedes-Benz and I pay 350 euros per month on the loan. My wife works as an assistant director of a small local company and earns about 15,000 euros a month. In total, we have enough for everything that you can only wish for.

How I moved to Iceland and decided to stay there forever

The Icelanders themselves were a pleasant surprise. This is a nation of very beautiful people: men, as a rule, take care of themselves, and Icelandic women are very self-confident. The feminist movement is active here, and, in fairness, Iceland is one of the few countries where men and women have roughly equal rights.

Immediately I had to apply for a residence permit. According to local rules, if you marry an Icelander, then you live for three years on annual residence permits, then you receive permanent resident status and in parallel you can apply for citizenship. Three months later I received a card in the mail - a document confirming my legal residence in Iceland and stay in the Schengen zone. It turned out not to be as difficult as I thought.

What are the ways to migrate to Iceland

Profitable marriage in Iceland for immigrants

A seductive publication appeared in the media that the Icelandic government would pay 5,000 euros per month to immigrants who marry Icelandic girls. A very tempting offer, which by the way is not suitable for local male representatives because the minimum wage in this country is more than 10,000 euros.

Danes, Swedes, Norwegians and Poles also live in the country (under an agreement on the construction of sulfur mining and aluminum production plants until 2015 with Poland and Germany). The average population density is 3.12 people. per 1 km². About 60% of the inhabitants are concentrated in the southwestern part of the country (Reykjavik and its environs).

Move to Iceland and get married

Everything is in English, but I will briefly retell.
A number of Icelandic women reported on Facebook that they had received marriage proposals from strangers. It turned out that this is connected just with the article on the first link. This whole story is fake from start to finish.

The other day, a viral canard was launched on Facebook, which was replicated by Russian and Ukrainian media of dubious authority. Iceland was reported to be pay immigrants $5,000 every month for marrying Icelandic women. Moreover, immigrants from North Africa, mostly. A detail for greater reliability of the fake. It was argued that the government took this step due to the fact that in Iceland there are significantly more women, like, there are not enough men.

Discovery of Iceland: prospects for life and work for Russian migrants on the edge of the earth

Having children in Iceland is beneficial, including for migrants. The state stimulates an increase in the birth rate and pays significant benefits. Everything in the country is computerized. Therefore, wherever people live, they do not need to go to the "center" to receive benefits, to issue the necessary documents, licenses and certificates. The Internet is available anywhere, even on remote farms, and everything you need, including the tax return, is submitted electronically. Therefore, Russian migrants can arrange everything they need, “on the spot” and without suffering from bureaucracy.

Russian pensioners are no different from Icelandic ones in terms of their well-being, and therefore their income depends solely on how much and where they worked and when they went on vacation. Russian pensioners live in the same place, in Iceland, but sometimes, following the example of local elderly people, they move to warmer climes. All of them are exceptionally well endowed here.
