Hei! I am planning to visit Philippines but I will be using the passport with my maiden name. I already changed my surname into my husband`s surname. Will it be a problem in entering Norway again if in my residence permit is different surname from my passport? Thanks

There is a possibility of that as I had a similar situation and thush had changed it back to my maiden last name... Had also checked about the same with the UDI and the police ...... And was recommended the same ... Now for me i don't see myself changing my name to my husband's last name on my passport as i have bank a/ c 's my house etc. on my name back home so it is a bit inconvinient ... It would br sensible to have the same name on the resident Card that also matches on your passport .... Otherwise travelling in and out of Norway gets difficult and also any where in the Schegen area will be complicated....
