ETIAS Norway

What is the ETIAS and why will Norway require it from its passengers?

The ETIAS is a proactive measure to ensure security and efficiently manage the entry of travelers without the need for a visa, this contributing to a safer and more controlled environment.
  • The ETIAS is an online travel authorization system.
  • Applies to citizens of countries that do not require a visa to enter the European Union.
  • ETIAS authorization is required before travel and is valid for multiple entries over a three-year period.
  • Norway will require that the passenger have their ETIAS travel authorization at the time of entry into the country, whether by airport, sea or land transportation.

Travelers from countries that do not require a visa to travel to Norway must request ETIAS authorization before traveling to Norway. Not having the ETIAS approved will be a reason for rejection when trying to enter the country.
