i only can work 40% in Iceland and i can't work full time during study , but i want to know can i cover my costs(basics needs) of living in Iceland just by work 40% ? there is anyway to do that? anyone has experience ? or there is solutions .
Do you mean 40% of 24 hours, of 16 hours (day time) or of 8 hours (working_hours)?
Iceland has tough immigration legislation. It is true for foreign students too! To get admission to the University you have to show the reference that your income is more than 785 euro per month (exclude social benefits).
I don't know may a foreign student of an Iceland University work. This is a law issue. It seems the answer to the question is positive (by parity of reasoning of other countries).
They say (Internet forums) there isn't much free work positions in Iceland. A student can try to find a job in cafe, farm or fish processing (it's a season job).

Remember to pack:Tickets, insurance papers and other documents required for the residence permit, i.e. documentary evidence that you have enough money to support yourself while studying in Iceland (a recent bank statement or proof of scholarship)
i love Iceland but i curious to know if there is other European country where i can study and cover my costs of living through work
I had a waiter from Iceland and, strangely, I had and Icelandic cook..and what was more coincidencial, they were related---seems to be common..and more coincidences...they were gays and they became a couple, quite common even though there was a difference of age.
They told me about prices, and they told me they could live in Iceland because they were Icelandic, had properties, social services. But they say that life was incredibly expensive as compared to Spain, that no European could live there unless rich, that travels inside were very expensive...
Each one drank a bottle of whysky or two...they also loved beers and that pestiferous aqua whatever..., Spanish brands..if not I would have gone broken, whatever they could drink, they went out a LOT...and they told me they could not live like that in Iceland AT ALL.
So Iceland is very expensive even for Europeans.
As to any study. any country, Italy, France, Spain, etc.
i was love Iceland as there is no a lot problems there but it's seem very expensive ,
but i don't know i feel there is a lot problems in Germany , everyone in world want move to Germany, a lot refuges things will be complicated , etc .
i don't know if there is countries in Eu where i can cover my costs of living , and there is chance to stay after finish my study (if there is other way instead of find woman to marry as i think it's something not guarantee)

With such a strange mindset it's not a good idea to study, anywhere. The refugees doesn't affect the every day life of the average citizens.

i don't talk about refugees , i meant i fear from racism against strangers because refugees crisis especially in Germany i have bad feeling about that part.
