10 reasons not to move to Iceland: 1. The housing market is so crowded if one studio apartment is advertised, it gets 400 applications and it is extremely expensive. 2. The healthcare system has collapsed and just getting appointment at doctor is often weeks when it used to be few days. There is so much stress on healthcare workers, they just quit. 3 The police force is also overloaded with subjects and do not seem to care about people when something is stolen. 4. Though it is still safe, it is less safer than before. 5. The food is expensive. 6. The weather is not the best and very often windy and cold. 7. There are already 12.000 or more men in the country than women (3-4%) so the gender difference is not balanced and it is almost only due to immigration. 8. It has become less welcoming and more xenophobic in recent years. 9. During the winter the days become dark very early and sunlight is limited. 10. It is very difficult to become sustainable and try to grow food unless you get yourself a good greenhouse and equipment which is expensive as everything. I can mention many more but i guess Iceland is just a little tribe in the north and if everyone wants to move there it doesn't stay as good as everyone thinks.
I had a friend from Iceland in college who moved to the US for school- and I’ve never met a more stable and well spoken, smart man. Also politically it sounds like Iceland cares for its people unlike the US. Plus he said each student in Iceland becomes fluent in several languages by the time they graduate Highschool (or at least at the level where they could communicate in that language decently)
People in iceland are the most polite, literate and most well spoken folks I have ever met in my life. Before you even dabble moving to iceland, just know that the most annoying thing Icelanders do not like to hear when they call to a business place is "eg tala ekki islensku". Lots of foreigners who stay in iceland are learning icelandic and some folks are not even trying to learn icelandic and they are just there to get a paycheck and use english as their primary language of communication. While not necessary to learn icelandic to get a job, its important to know that is their national language and if you plan on getting a professional job in Iceland that will pay a lot more, you best know some basic/mid level icelandic as some business discussions are done in icelandic and english. If you work for a company that is owned by a danish company, expect to hear icelandic/danish and english across the room. Overall, iceland is the most ideal place to raise a child. Been there so many times and have family of kin that kids were rarely on electronics. They were either reading or watching something on tv that is actually educational. Rarely, cartoons were only on for younger kids.
Before being too excited to live in Iceland - Iceland is the second most expensive country in the world after Swiss - Icelandic is a hard language to learn But I won’t move away from Iceland
I greet you brother please can you help me connect with the right person who can help me process Visa to Iceland I love to stay in day country and be working, Nigeria is a hell
I would love to move there. It’s small and peaceful. It’s kinda the way of life i’ve enjoyed when i was a kid. But in Iceland will be better, bcs of the income
I can think of another reason to move to Iceland - politics! The Government in Iceland takes no prisoners when it comes to the job of government. During the global financial crash of 2008, the Prime Minister resigned, and the replacement Government put the bankers responsible on trial. When the US Government came knocking to find out what was going on, the Icelandic Government told them to "go forth and multiply"!
The government here is just as much shit as elsewhere. When ministers have resigned bacause of big scandals they're usually back within a year. Maybe in another ministry but then later even in the same they resigned from. Like our current prime minister that was a minister of financial affairs and had accounts in Tortola Islands.
We need videos about how to move to Iceland. Which healthcare jobs are needed? What qualifications are required? How do we prove income for the remote-work visa? What do we do if a neighbor smokes in our apartment complex?
I would love to live in Iceland,dont care about cold,rain and sun,I love coldness and darkness...but I probably wouldnt last long if I had no normal job to make money for normal living,no need some big fortune or whatever,just for normal life to pay bills,food,house and sunday pub 😊
I was curious to see if any people from Iceland were commenting on not moving there... Comments are flooded with discouraging information 😂😂😂 .. I am not from Iceland, and I don't like people from other places to come live in my city because people don't understand our regionalism, but...

Huge problems in Sweden via diversity without integration. As is the case in the rest of Europe. I'm going to investigate moving to Iceland from Ireland as a retired person with cousins there.

Iceland seems like a beautiful place, and I would love to visit, but I am realistic enough to know that I would not adjust well to living there full-time. I think it’s too hard to adjust to the long winter nights and to the extreme cold (I live in Southern California). I spent 6 long winter months on the east coast, and that was too cold for me, lol. I guess I am a weather pansy.
Iceland is 6 month rain , windy storm 3 month dark snowy 3 month is like European spring April/ may I hate this country a.d I cannot wait to move to Switzerland or Denmark where is civilisation, shoos, other food than Italian and wietnamese and summer
It's fine to live here if you have the chance to go to like southern Spain or some place similar for some weeks during the coldest and darkest months. That's what many Icelanders to. Many of them for example live in The Canary islands for some months over winter. Especially retired people.

People told me Greenland was cold. I walked around in shorts and a t shirt. People told me busan korea cold -15c. I swam all morning in the ocean. People said Alaska was cold, fine trousers and a long sleeve shirt and i was good... So is Iceland really cold or just hype? I want a cold place to relax and breathe in fresh air.
Sorry Island as a Greek i am spoiled and i cant't live without sunshine. So i won't move there though i admire people of Iceland who stood up against banks in 2008. As a honor i will apply for citizenship when i go to Athens.
lol that's just a lie. it's 37,95% from 370.000 - 1 million kronas. the highest income tax is 46,25% and that is just for everything you earn over 1 million
@@obbobbobb4211 Is it? 37.95% + 24% VAT (on spending) = 61,95% (lowest possible). OFC assuming you eventually spend it all. Straight of the bat, you got 61.95% tax. Then you have super high shadow taxes on Gasoline, travel tax, etc. I'd say the people of Iceland are good bondsmen. Again, I bet if you include (not excluding) All shadow taxes + your income taxes (with VAT) you get about 90% ish tax. I don't know what death taxes (estate tax) is but I'd assume it's high. Why you comply with this theft is beyond me.
To those of you who think all your problems will be solved by emmigrating to Iceland, think again. Even if you make every effort to integrate, you will never feel completely a part of Icelandic society. It's not because Icelanders are racist or because you didn't try hard to integrate. In European ethnic states, non-natives WILL ALWAYS be considered foriegners. Even your children and grandchildren. This will cause resentment among non native immigrants, especially the 2nd generation, and will feed an inferiority complex that will last for generations. These minority groups will then try to force acceptance by claiming systemic racism and demand government intervention (often financial, racial quotas, etc.). Instead of looking to escape your own native land, then try to change the country you've moved to, why not just make your native land the way you want it to be?
Simply not true. i moved to Iceland 5 years ago and everyone has been incredibly welcoming and friendly. Once people see you've made an effort to learn the language and assimilate into Icelandic culture and ways of life then you're good. Be respectful, it goes a long way.
@@docdoc8556 I have no doubt that has been your experience, but that's only because Iceland hasn't yet been inundated by masses of non-ethnics yet. Single individuals are not seen as a threat, especially when you've made an effort. Just wait. How do I know? Because the exact same thing has alreayd happened in other Scandinavian countries, that were once like Iceland. Also, if you remain in Iceland and have children, they likely won't feel the same. They'll feel as I described above and will always blame "systemic racism" when in reality, it's just a systemic inferiority complex.
thats normal.Even if you have lived there for generations it is still not the country of your ancestors. You should show some respect to the people of that country.

Iceland is not in Scandinavia but is like the Scandinavian countries (Norway, Sweden & Denmark), Finland and The Faroe Islands a part of The Nordic countries.
Dude, you're not even from Scandanavia so wtf are you talking about. Also 'You never actually will appropriate it' is a racist wolf whistle. I've been there, it really quite blonde, the socialist economic model is amazing and people really live in harmony with nature.
Keep not knowing. Don't move there, please. Icelanders are nice (for now) but their patients is wearing. Though usually not very public about it, for now, they actually don't want most immigrants, especially from Africa or the middle-east.
Exactly No weather No advertising , no shops only Turkish,Vietnamese,Italian and African No good fruits or vegetables Icelanders have big ego but really small level in schools Nepotism , no good job only with English Really expensive life , rent, food , travels No possibilities to study imdyring weekends like in other countries
Not all the information given is entirely accurate. Look for similar videos that give Reasons NOT to move to Iceland for a better perspective of the pros and cons of Iceland.
Here's a few reasons not to move there: Volcanoes. Health care is expensive, they do not have free health care like Europe, you pay for Everything. Food is expensive. Internet service is spotty. Volcanoes. It's freaking cold all the time, even in summer. The sun is out past midnight during summer months, and hardly out at all during the winter. If the freezing 50 mph winds don't kill you, the ocean waves will. Volcanoes. There is only one city, the rest is wide open rural, no trees, And if you're unemployed, you'll be eating a lot of sheeps head, cause chicken is as expensive as filet minon. On one hand, getting laid is easy, as they're into having sex on the first meeting but on the other hand everyone there is related to each other and you have to check your family background before you start breeding. If you have even the slightest criminal background, even a simple DWI, you ain't living here. If you don't have a good job already lined up, like in thermodynamics, you ain't living here. The national sport is reading.
"If you have even the slightest criminal background, even a simple DWI, you ain't living here. The national sport is reading." How are those reasons to not move there, exactly? Is that bad to you? On one hand, the first one makes the country safer and a nicer place to live in, and the second one, I doubt that's true, but even if, that really just gives the idea the people are educated and have fine knowledge.
im not expert on healthcare prices in other countries but i pay somwhere in the range of 3 dollars and 50 cent when i go to the doctor here in iceland that may be consider expensive in some countries but it harldy makes a dent in my valet and if u have to be in a hospital for 24 hours or more i dont think u have to pay anything
@@Bc500 so are you saying that you have almost free or at least very affordable health care in Iceland? Because that's new info for me, not what I had learned previously. Let me know, I'm genuinely interested in learning the truth about that.
@@Tellittothefireflies I should have said "wouldn't or couldn't". The only things keeping me from living here are the cold, the volcanoes, and no trees. Of all sorts. I'm actually visiting in a few months and I'm bringing books as gifts. The National sport is Reading. LOL
@@hermionegardener3796 yes thats the truth i mean the healthcare system here is far from perfect in general i think its great how ever if u are turist and dont have the european health insurance card on u or other travel insurance u have to pay full price
Hello there, I was wondering, if I can share with you the most important thing ever before in life. God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. Then He was put into a tomb for 3 days, after that Abba Father raised Jesus to life.He appeared to people, and went back to heaven. We all must sincerely receive Jesus into our life to be God's child. John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name" Will you today genuinely by faith-- receive Jesus into your life for salvation?

Been there. Weather 😩.
@phil2u48 I like snow so I don't mind the weather
Thanks.
Iceland seems like a beautiful place, and I would love to visit, but I am realistic enough to know that I would not adjust well to living there full-time.
I think it’s too hard to adjust to the long winter nights and to the extreme cold (I live in Southern California). I spent 6 long winter months on the east coast, and that was too cold for me, lol. I guess I am a weather pansy.
I love winter
Born and lived in California southern for 32 years. To hot for me. Anaheim. Seoul korea was good. Russia good, I think I would like Iceland.
Iceland is 6 month rain , windy storm
3 month dark snowy
3 month is like European spring April/ may
I hate this country a.d I cannot wait to move to Switzerland or Denmark where is civilisation, shoos, other food than Italian and wietnamese and summer
It's fine to live here if you have the chance to go to like southern Spain or some place similar for some weeks during the coldest and darkest months. That's what many Icelanders to. Many of them for example live in The Canary islands for some months over winter. Especially retired people.
If I could afford to live in Iceland I would move there I believe its so expensive to live
I'm going to visit Iceland and then move there
Please don't. Stop fantasizing about what you think your life would be like living in a place you've never been.

For many non-Scandinavians, Scandinavia is treated like a "theme park" (like Disneyland or something), where anyone can go to and live out your fantasies. For some reason, non-Europeans (even many southern Europeans) have this fantasy about what they think it would be like to live in a Scandinavian country. The media has falsely built them up into some kind of a mystical utopian "elvish paradise," where all the people are blond and beautiful, and everyone lives in perfect harmony, with nature and each other. That image is false and was mostly built up by leftists trying to promote the "socialist ideal," that Scandinavia never was (as well as by people who just like to fantasize about blond women. Why is it that people like blond women so much? I can't figure it out).

There is like over 20 reasons not to move to Iceland.
It's not for the weak so you definitely shouldn't move there. Not even visit.
I think I’d like the safety and community parts.
Iceland is now a country of muy dreams
Why don't you make your own country the country of your dreams?
Because it has ice, free!
Cold.
Having lived in Chicago,I like what's not here
1. Cold 2. Ships 3. Sheep 4.Booze 5. Long nights 6.Volcanoes 7. Blondes 8. Handball 9. Reykjavik 10. Silence
Just like Iceland and Switzerland, i pray lord help me and provide for me, to have experience of this country
Norwegian/Norse countries sounds like the suburbs of the global countries
Never advice people to move to an other country. I live in an other country but do not advice people from my own country to come to live here.

So is Iceland really cold or just hype? I want a cold place to relax and breathe in fresh air.
It's not really cold here, but I dare you to try Russia
😅
It's stormy 6 month 3 snowy windy and 3 like aPril
If you are doing a video about Iceland maybe you should show Icelandic people rather than using stock footage of Americans. Just saying.

The high taxes. The lack of good housing, the nice weather 🤔🤣

Do not forget to mention 62% income tax on your income. Then the rest of the tax added up you get about 90% tax.. paradise
lol that's just a lie. it's 37,95% from 370.000 - 1 million kronas. the highest income tax is 46,25% and that is just for everything you earn over 1 million
@@obbobbobb4211 Is it?
37.95% + 24% VAT (on spending) = 61,95% (lowest possible). OFC assuming you eventually spend it all.
Straight of the bat, you got 61.95% tax.
Then you have super high shadow taxes on Gasoline, travel tax, etc. I'd say the people of Iceland are good bondsmen.
Again, I bet if you include (not excluding) All shadow taxes + your income taxes (with VAT) you get about 90% ish tax.
I don't know what death taxes (estate tax) is but I'd assume it's high.
Why you comply with this theft is beyond me.

To those of you who think all your problems will be solved by emmigrating to Iceland, think again. Even if you make every effort to integrate, you will never feel completely a part of Icelandic society. It's not because Icelanders are racist or because you didn't try hard to integrate. In European ethnic states, non-natives WILL ALWAYS be considered foriegners. Even your children and grandchildren. This will cause resentment among non native immigrants, especially the 2nd generation, and will feed an inferiority complex that will last for generations. These minority groups will then try to force acceptance by claiming systemic racism and demand government intervention (often financial, racial quotas, etc.). Instead of looking to escape your own native land, then try to change the country you've moved to, why not just make your native land the way you want it to be?
Simply not true. i moved to Iceland 5 years ago and everyone has been incredibly welcoming and friendly. Once people see you've made an effort to learn the language and assimilate into Icelandic culture and ways of life then you're good. Be respectful, it goes a long way.
@@docdoc8556 I have no doubt that has been your experience, but that's only because Iceland hasn't yet been inundated by masses of non-ethnics yet. Single individuals are not seen as a threat, especially when you've made an effort. Just wait. How do I know? Because the exact same thing has alreayd happened in other Scandinavian countries, that were once like Iceland. Also, if you remain in Iceland and have children, they likely won't feel the same. They'll feel as I described above and will always blame "systemic racism" when in reality, it's just a systemic inferiority complex.
@@gger1234 and, it's already beginning to happen in Europe as well.
Then we are still tribal in nature but are mostly living in concrete jungles nowadays.
thats normal.Even if you have lived there for generations it is still not the country of your ancestors. You should show some respect to the people of that country.

Iceland is not in Scandinavia but is like the Scandinavian countries (Norway, Sweden & Denmark), Finland and The Faroe Islands a part of The Nordic countries.
Dude, you're not even from Scandanavia so wtf are you talking about. Also 'You never actually will appropriate it' is a racist wolf whistle. I've been there, it really quite blonde, the socialist economic model is amazing and people really live in harmony with nature.
I want to move to Iceland but I don't know how to get visa
Keep not knowing. Don't move there, please. Icelanders are nice (for now) but their patients is wearing. Though usually not very public about it, for now, they actually don't want most immigrants, especially from Africa or the middle-east.

1, reason not to move to Iceland… Its Fu*king too Cold 🥶
Exactly
No weather
No advertising , no shops only Turkish,Vietnamese,Italian and African
No good fruits or vegetables
Icelanders have big ego but really small level in schools
Nepotism , no good job only with English
Really expensive life , rent, food , travels
No possibilities to study imdyring weekends like in other countries
It’s safe because there are no pookies, rayrays, and eses living there, so the crime rate is very low.
What are those?
what about job availability for immigrants?
With rampant nepotism it's unfairly harder for immigrants to find good paying jobs.

Here's a few reasons not to move there: Volcanoes. Health care is expensive, they do not have free health care like Europe, you pay for Everything. Food is expensive. Internet service is spotty. Volcanoes. It's freaking cold all the time, even in summer. The sun is out past midnight during summer months, and hardly out at all during the winter. If the freezing 50 mph winds don't kill you, the ocean waves will. Volcanoes. There is only one city, the rest is wide open rural, no trees, And if you're unemployed, you'll be eating a lot of sheeps head, cause chicken is as expensive as filet minon. On one hand, getting laid is easy, as they're into having sex on the first meeting but on the other hand everyone there is related to each other and you have to check your family background before you start breeding. If you have even the slightest criminal background, even a simple DWI, you ain't living here. If you don't have a good job already lined up, like in thermodynamics, you ain't living here. The national sport is reading.
"If you have even the slightest criminal background, even a simple DWI, you ain't living here. The national sport is reading." How are those reasons to not move there, exactly? Is that bad to you? On one hand, the first one makes the country safer and a nicer place to live in, and the second one, I doubt that's true, but even if, that really just gives the idea the people are educated and have fine knowledge.
im not expert on healthcare prices in other countries but i pay somwhere in the range of 3 dollars and 50 cent when i go to the doctor here in iceland
that may be consider expensive in some countries but it harldy makes a dent in my valet
and if u have to be in a hospital for 24 hours or more i dont think u have to pay anything
@@Bc500 so are you saying that you have almost free or at least very affordable health care in Iceland? Because that's new info for me, not what I had learned previously. Let me know, I'm genuinely interested in learning the truth about that.
@@Tellittothefireflies I should have said "wouldn't or couldn't". The only things keeping me from living here are the cold, the volcanoes, and no trees. Of all sorts. I'm actually visiting in a few months and I'm bringing books as gifts. The National sport is Reading. LOL
@@hermionegardener3796 yes thats the truth i mean the healthcare system here is far from perfect in general i think its great how ever if u are turist and dont have the european health insurance card on u or other travel insurance u have to pay full price
Hello there, I was wondering, if I can share with you the most important thing ever before in life. God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. Then He was put into a tomb for 3 days, after that Abba Father raised Jesus to life.He appeared to people, and went back to heaven. We all must sincerely receive Jesus into our life to be God's child. John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name" Will you today genuinely by faith-- receive Jesus into your life for salvation?
