Norwegen: was man vor der Reise wissen sollte

Das Wichtigste

  • Russian tourist entry is restricted at external borders; check exceptions before booking.
  • Weather varies sharply by region; carry waterproof and warm layers.

Einreise und Visa

Norway follows Schengen short-stay rules: visa-exempt visitors share a 90-day allowance in any 180 days across the area. EES biometric registration takes place at external borders; it is not an online pre-arrival application. ETIAS is not operating; official diplomatic updates expect 2027, with no fixed launch date.

Gültigkeit des Reisepasses: Non-EU short-stay visitors: issued within the previous 10 years and valid at least 3 months after planned Schengen departure.

An der Grenze kann verlangt werden

  • Carry evidence of accommodation, onward travel and funds; allow time for external border checks.
