You are from outside EUROPE (EU/EEA)
From 26 November 2021 more travellers from outside Europe can enter Norway as the rules are back to how they were prior to the coronavirus pandemic. Everyone who has a valid visitor’s visa, or who is entitled to visit Norway without a visitor’s visa, can enter Norway now.
The borders of Norway are temporarily closed for most tourists from the rest of the world (outside Europe). There are some exceptions. Vaccinated tourists from selected countries outside Europe (the Norwegian purple list) can now enter Norway now! See the list below. We expect that Australia and the USA will not be on the list before January 2021. We do not know dates when things are changing, that is up to the Norwegian government (there is every week an evaluation). All our trips and courses have a re-booking guarantee free of cost (this means you can change your trip to a new date without fees). Subscribe to our newsletter, and we keep you updated about the reopening of the Norwegian borders!
Latest updates:
Recently Norway has opened the borders for Taiwan, Saudi Arabia and New Zealand (purple rated countries). Check the complete list in the FAQ below. Most travellers from the UK can now enter Norway. Read more details about entering from the UK here. Another new rule is that people from outside Europe that reside in the EU/EEA can travel with EUDCC (vaccinated or had Covid in the last 6 month) can enter Norway with the QR-code.

WHAT IS A RE-BOOKING GUARANTEE?
Re-booking is postponing your trip to a later date due to a COVID related issue like: you are infected, a family member is sick or you cannot leave your country or enter Norway. Re-booking is free of cost and hassle. You can re-book to any date one year ahead (and in some cases more). You do not have to choose a new date immediately after cancellation.
IS NORWAY SAFE TO TRAVEL?
Norway is a safe place for traveling and the country is huge and has a small amount of inhabitants (a bit more than 5 million). Most people live in the south. Norway has not had huge numbers of infections, thanks to strict measurements, travel restrictions and closed borders.
