Norway Entry & Visa Checker for Stavanger

Norway is not a member of the European Union, but it belongs to the Schengen Area and the European Economic Area (EEA). EU/EEA and Swiss citizens enjoy free movement with no 90-day limit. Citizens of many other countries can enter visa-free for tourism but are capped at 90 days within any 180-day period across the whole Schengen Area โ€” not just Norway. Select your passport below to see your current status.

What every traveller needs to know

  • A valid passport, or a national ID card for EU/EEA and Swiss citizens, is required for entry โ€” check that it will remain valid for your planned stay.
  • The EU's Entry/Exit System (EES) and the ETIAS travel authorisation will eventually apply to visa-exempt travellers, but their launch dates keep slipping โ€” check travel-europe.europa.eu before you fly rather than assuming a date.
  • No vaccinations are required to enter Norway.
  • Visa-exempt visitors can drive in Norway on their national driving licence for the length of their stay; an International Driving Permit is recommended alongside an older paper licence.
  • Norway is outside the EU customs union, so duty-free allowances and tax-free shopping refunds on purchases made in Norway apply to every visitor, including those from the EU/EEA.

Always verify current requirements on the official Norwegian immigration portal (udi.no) before booking flights โ€” rules and the EES/ETIAS timeline can change. udi.no ยท travel-europe.europa.eu
