Housing, health insurance, working, living costs and student visas.
HÁSKÓLINN Í REYKJAVÍK | REYKJAVIK UNIVERSITYHousing
Reykjavik University does not have any student housing so students must find housing on the private market.. To assist students we run a Facebook
housing group. Use the code „RU-2020 –FALL-EXCH“ to join. Please be advised that the International Exchange Office puts forth information about
housing options to aid students in information gathering. All decisions regarding housing during the student‘s time at Reykjavik University is the student‘s
own decision and fully under his responsibility.
Accommodation can be difficult to find during the high season, which lasts from May – September.
Other sources for finding accommodation:
• Leiga Facebook group
• www.rentmate.is
• Leiga 101 Facebook group leiga á íslandi - rent in Iceland
How much should I expect to pay for accommodation ?
Prices are for guidance only. Prices are per month. Electricity and heating is often included in the rental price, and sometimes internet. Please be sure to
check with your landlord what is included in the price. Most property owners ask for a deposit that will be refunded when moving out, if no damage has
been done to the property. Always ask for a receipt for any payments made and never agree to transfer to a landlord’s bank account outside of Iceland.
• Room with shared bathroom and kitchen– 65,000 – 95,000 ISK
• Room with private bathroom and kitchen facilities – 85,000 – 110,000 ISK
• Studio apartment – 120,000 - 150,000 ISK
Where should I rent?
Reykjavik is divided into area codes, 101 is the downtown area. Popular areas for students are university; 101, 107, 105 (close to the university) and 104.
Areas further out of the city centre tend to be cheaper.
Words of warning!! Important
• Never use Craigslist to find accommodation in Iceland.
• Never send money to a bank account outside of Iceland.
• Always make transfers, if your landlord does ask for cash make sure you get a receipt!
• We can check a landlord out for you, send the full name of the landlord and the property address.
• It is also very important to sign a contract first before paying the deposit.
• Even if you do not sign a contract, you will always be protected by the housing law in Iceland, but if possible get a contract. Please also note; you can
never be held to a contract that gives you less rights than the law.Health Insurance Iceland maintains a universal healthcare system, under which all legal residents are covered by the Icelandic social insurance systems and pay less for access to health services. To be insured under the state health insurance a person must have been registered with domicile in the National Registry for six months. EEA/EU citizens: Students from EU/EEA countries should bring the European Health Insurance card with them. This must be presented on any visits to health care facilities and will allow you to receive access to health care at the same cost as Icelanders. Non EU/EEA Students: Student from outside of the EEA/EU will need to purchase private health insurance for the first six months of their stay, after which time they registered in the Icelandic Health care insurance. It is recommended that students purchase health insurance from an Icelandic company, as the immigration office does not accept many international polices. Polices are starting from around 13,000 ISK for the six-month period: Sjova, TM Cost for healthcare visits (EU/EEA) Consultation during office hours 1200 ISK (08:00 -16:00) Consultation during after hours 3400 ISK Emergency room visit 6200 ISK
Cost of Living How much will it cost to study in Iceland? The costs stated in this guide are subject to change, based on an average cost of living, and therefore are for guidance purposes only. All prices are stated in Icelandic krona (ISK). The ISK is prone to fluctuations. You can check the latest exchange rate on the Central Bank of Iceland´s website. Please be advised that the International Exchange Office puts forth information about working conditions in Iceland to aid students in information gathering. All decisions regarding possibly working during the student‘s time at Reykjavik University is the student‘s own decision and fully under his responsibility. Living Costs, breakdown HOUSING: 75,000 – 95,000 ISK per month. Based on a private room in a shared house. Usually includes electric and heating, and sometimes Wi-Fi. FOOD: 65,000 ISK per month. This is based on buying food in the supermarkets and eating lunch at the University. Students can save also money by bringing food from home to the university. There are microwaves and grill machines accessible to students and shopping at “Bonus” the cheapest supermarket. ENTERTAINMENT COSTS: 45,000 ISK per month. This amount really depends on lifestyle. If you want to travel outside the city, you should plan-ahead and look for the best deals for your destination, as prices can vary widely depending on where you want to go and the time of year. What the immigration office says you need For students who are required to have a student visa to study in Iceland. The immigration department requires students to prove the following amounts as minimum financial support. (You are only required to prove a minimum of six months).Individual: ISK 189,875 per month / Couple: ISK 284,813 per month Working in Iceland Many of our international students choose to work to supplement their income during their studies. Students are usually able find work fairly easily, mostly in cafes, bars and tourist shops. Speaking Icelandic is not required. The annual tourist population is nearly 2 million for a population of 350,000, so there are many opportunities in the job market for English-speaking students. FINDING WORK: Work is most easily found face-to-face. Walking into establishments with your CV and introducing yourself is often the best approach. Emails or contacting companies before arriving in Iceland is not always fruitful. SALARY: Students, on average, earn around 1600 ISK an hour. WILL I NEED A VISA TO WORK? Students who do not need a student visa to study and live in Iceland (EU/EEA) can work freely. For students who require a visa, you will need to apply for a work visa; this is add on to the student visa and is usually a straightforward process and done with your employer once you have found work. You will need an employment agreement signed by your employer The immigration department sets a maximum of 15 work hours per week during term time.
