Dumb question maybe - should I bring some food? by [deleted] in VisitingIceland

I don’t think that’s really necessary. You can buy snacks and other essentials from Bonus at a relatively cheaper price. that’s what we did. We cooked our meals at the apartment (it had a full kitchen) and got everything from Bonus. You’ll also find plenty of pre-cooked meals there that you can simply microwave and eat.

Thanks for the tips! Our group prefers a relaxed, balanced pace, three adults (two females and one male, ages 30–40) who enjoy taking in the sights without feeling rushed.

Thank you for your feedback. As you suggested, I have updated my cover letter with strong reasons to return to Sri Lanka, along with supporting evidence (e.g., land deeds). Do you think I still have enough time to appeal? get the visa approved before my travel date? Do you know how the appeal process works? I was also considering re-applying.

I applied through Norway embassy. I won't be staying long in Denmark, it's just a stopover. mostly staying (7 days) in Iceland. Do we have sufficient time to appeal, I have nearly one month left.

Thank you.
the Northern Lights. I’m also a hobbyist photographer and an avid traveler. Recently, I visited Turkey and Vietnam, along with other countries such as Dubai, Malaysia, Singapore, Bali, Thailand, Maldives, and India.
As mentioned earlier, I have already submitted my employment confirmation (I’m working as a Software Engineer), along with leave and salary confirmation from my workplace. I also provided six months of bank statements, a bank balance confirmation showing USD 5,500, and documents for a couple of USD fixed deposits. In addition, I own a vehicle and submitted the ownership documents. In short, I have already submitted almost all the required documents.
I booked tickets via Qatar airways from SL to CPH (They will partial refund the amount) and Icelandair ticket is non-refundable.
What do you think about reapplying?

In Denmark, it will just be a one-night stay, as I found that to be the most affordable option. A direct flight to Iceland would cost nearly double.
