Entry Requirements
Visas
If you’re travelling to Norway, previous visits to the Schengen area within the 180 days before your date of travel would count against the 90-day limit, but trips to EU countries outside the Schengen area (Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus and Romania) would not. The 90-day visa-free period would not entitle you to work – most countries will require a visa and work permit. You may also need to get a visa before you travel if you’re planning to stay longer than 90 days, or your visit would take you over the 90 days in 180 days limit. You should check the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration website to find out what type of visa, if any, you will need.
The overall level of the advice has not changed, there are no restrictions within the advice.
