Hi Everyone, 

 

My husband and I are taking a vacation to Iceland and London.   His passport is from the Dominican Republic and he has a green card. We live in the United States.   Does he need to request a visa to enter those countries or is he ok with just his green card and Dominican passport?    I am very confused because I remember I traveled to swiss land when I was a green card holder myself and I just traveled with my green card and Dominican Passport.

yes he still needs visa because he will have to show his passport at point of entry in Europe and it requires visa for Dominicans. A US citizen is allowed to enter Europe without a visa but not green card holders. 

 

Good luck.

You should be fine. Apply ASAP. Apply to the embassy where you will be landing first, and going to the second country shouldn't be a problem after that.

Keep in mind that the UK is not part of Schengen. A separate visa will be required.

Actually you need two separate visas. One for Iceland (Schengen visa) and then one for UK. Requirements for each one are different, check with the consulate websites. You have a lot of time till August but better to start arranging trips to the consulates asap.
