Updates will be made regularly, with a new version released every six months. We continue to collaborate with our team of experts for immigrant matters within Reykjavík City. The aim of this team is to enhance cooperation and share knowledge to benefit immigrants in Reykjavík. We have increased cooperation with associations related to immigrant matters.
