Do Ukrainians need a visa to Norway?
Ukrainian citizens have a visa-free regime with Norway, which is part of the Schengen area. This means that you can stay in Norway for up to 90 days in each 180-day period without a visa. During this period, you can travel, visit friends or relatives, do business or other short-term business.
For a convenient way to calculate your days of stay, use the Schengen calculator available here to know exactly how many days you have left.
What documents do Ukrainians need to enter Norway?
To enter Norway you need to have:
- A biometric passport valid for at least 3 months after the planned date of departure from the country.
- Insurance that covers medical expenses during your stay in Norway (you can get a policy on Visit Ukraine with the best conditions).
- Proof of financial solvency. In Norway, it is recommended to have at least 500 NOK for each day of your stay or the equivalent in another currency (approximately 40-50 euros per day).
- Confirmation of the purpose of the visit (for example, hotel reservation, invitation from friends or relatives).
Children also need a biometric passport. If a child is traveling with one parent, the other parent's consent is not required. However, if the child is traveling with relatives or acquaintances, notarized consent from both parents is required.

Do I need health insurance to travel to Norway?
Yes, health insurance is mandatory for traveling to Norway. This is a requirement for all visitors to the Schengen area and it covers the cost of treatment in case of an accident or illness.

What should I do if I lost my passport in Norway?
If you have lost your passport in Norway, contact the local police to register the loss. Then contact the Ukrainian embassy or consulate in Norway to obtain a temporary document that will allow you to return home or get a new passport.
Can I extend my stay in Norway beyond 90 days?
If you need to stay in Norway longer than the visa-free regime allows, you need to apply for a residence permit (for example, on the basis of study, work or family reunification). Please contact the Norwegian Migration Board (UDI) to apply and for more information on the requirements and documents needed. It is important to apply before the end of the 90-day stay to avoid fines and deportation.
Do I need to declare my funds at the border when entering Norway?
Yes, when entering Norway, if you are carrying cash or equivalent means of payment (e.g., traveler's checks) in excess of NOK 25,000 (approximately EUR 2,200), you must declare it at the border. This rule applies to both Norwegian and foreign currency. If you fail to declare the funds, you may be fined 20% of the amount or the case may be referred to the police, which may lead to confiscation of the funds in case of suspected criminal activity.
Can I use my Ukrainian driver's license in Norway?
Ukrainian driver's licenses are valid in Norway for persons with temporary protection or other legal residence status. In such cases, the license is recognized for three years and does not need to be exchanged for a Norwegian license if it is valid and not expired.
If you are entering Norway as a tourist, a Ukrainian driver's license is also valid, but only for a short period of time - up to 90 days. If you plan to stay longer, you will need to apply for an exchange of your license for a Norwegian one at the local traffic police station (passing theoretical and practical exams, if required).
