ninukot.is/index.php?id=289&L=1=289&L=1

Something went wrong when I posted the link. It is to an angency for farm workers called Ninukot.

ok thank you do I have to pay some money for that?

According to the website there is a programme fee of 595€, for things like pick up, orientation, help with paperwork etc. The good thing going with Ninukot is that you are a worker (and paid!), not a volunteer, which gives you a lot of protection (work hours, pay etc according to law) I have heard bad stories from ppl going privately.

Hello Marina,

I used workaway.info for a year's membership and worked on a farm in Akureyri.

Communication was good, accommodation and food are provided for.

This is the summer period so farms will appreciate help. The membership isn't expensive so you should definitely try contacting the farms

Thank u!

Maybe you can send me a e-mail beacause i have some question if it´s ok for you

I sent you a private message...

@ efiabruni > If you have some information to communicate, i invite you to post on the forum itself, so that everybody can benefit from them.

Thanks

Priscilla

My post was a reply to the above...

Hey people,

Im just considering to go to Iceland as well but for summer maybe till october. Do you think I can get some job there on farm after ariving there? Cos on internet I cannot find anything Do you now how is situation on farms by now? Do they need workers?
Thank you:)

Where are you from? If you are from an EEA country you can look at Ninukot, it is as far as I know the only organisation for work and travel in Iceland see ninukot.is/index.php?id=266 .
The visa requirements for non EEA citizens are very strict, you need a job offer to apply and your employer will have to prove that you have particular skills that an Icelander cannot do (so it is only possible for highly specialized jobs).

Thank you for your answer:) I am from Slovakia, so this will not be a problem. Yeah, I checked this ninukot before, but they want 600 euros, for finding you a job.And then I need of corse some money to get there and live till my first wage. But what I would like to know is,what do you think about goiing ther on blind, just to try get some seasonal work for a while:)What do you think?
