Bro i am from india. I want to study journalism in iceland. I jave done my batchelor degree in English literature. Do students get any scholarahips and job placements over there. Can you make a video for students who want to study there. I like the way you talk genuinely about things.

[@PetrHerold]

Honestly, I don’t think journalism is a good career to pursue in Iceland. There is nothing to report on, news are usually “It was raining a lot yesterday” or “A car got stuck in snow”. I don’t know anything about studying in Iceland, maybe they have good schools but I really don’t know.

[@syleshj1753]

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? 😊

Well this number now went down, this was a year ago in the midst of pandemic. I honestly don’t know the exact numbers now, but most of these foreigners were on benefits (and icelanders too). Me included to be transparent.

[@ISPRI2011]

@@PetrHerold I guess foreigners with some king of residency and tax paying history behind (EEA and Scandinavian countries etc).

[@ISPRI2011]

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.

[@PetrHerold]

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. :)

Hello is there company I can apply for Kitchen assistants job with free visa sponsorship. Thank you

[@theharvester2912]

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.

[@PetrHerold]

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 €).

[@Coyannn]

Hey, did you end up moving to Iceland, if you don't mind me asking?

[@theharvester2912]

@@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.

When you are 8 yo living on a farm and you are not allowed to use the gun and you have to kill a very sick sheep with a big rock, that's fun. Also when you walk into a farm house after a sheep has died the night before, or even few days before you will never forget the smell of death. When you grow up on a farm, you kinda see life differently, so differently that normal city folks thinks you are borderline psychopath. But on the other hand you tend to get hired at almost any job...
