Conditions for crossing the border with Norway

If the purpose of your entry to the territory of Norway is to apply for temporary protection, you can do so even if you do not have a passport, biometric passport, visa or other identity documents.

If you do not intend to apply for temporary protection, the usual entry rules apply:

o  if you have a biometric passport of Ukraine, you can travel to Norway without a visa. Children must also have a biometric passport, even if they are traveling with parents who have a biometric passport;

o  in the absence of a biometric passport, it is necessary to have a visa, residence permit or residence card in Norway. This applies to both adults and children.

If your passport for traveling abroad expires, you can extend the validity period by contacting the consular department of the Embassy of Ukraine in the Kingdom of Norway. The procedure for extending the validity of a passport for traveling abroad is temporary, introduced during the period of martial law plus one year from the date of its termination. The mentioned consular action is performed free of charge on the day of application. 

To extend the validity of the passport, you must register at the email address [email protected].

Important: planning to purchase a plane ticket or submit documents to a foreign consular institution to obtain a visa, be sure to first consult about the possibility of using a passport for traveling abroad with an extended validity period for these purposes.

It is possible to submit documents for the extension of the passport no earlier than 2 months before the expiration of its validity period.
