› PASSPORTS: Passport valid for at least three months beyond the intended period of stay required by all.
Note: In some circumstances, some nationals of EU or EEA countries may travel to Norway for touristic purposes with a valid national ID card only if issued in their home country. There are also circumstances when nationals of EU or EEA countries, plus certain other nationals, may travel to Norway with a passport that only needs to be valid during the duration of their stay and not beyond this intended period. However, since regulations are constantly changing, it is advised that all nationals contact their nearest Embassy/Consulate for further details since this passport exemption is not guaranteed and entry may be refused.
