Expatriation to Norway: border updates

Post new topic

Cheryl

Hello everyone,

in Norway as elsewhere, the current pandemic has changed our way of life but also our mobility, due to the state of borders of nearby countries or countries we wanted to visit.

Today we would like to take stock of the current border situation in Norway and collect your testimonies, whether you are already an expat there or still preparing your move.

Is the country currently accessible to newcomers?

Have quarantine measures been put in place? If so, what are they?

What about leaving the territory as an expat resident? Will you be able to easily reach Norway if you leave it temporarily?

How does the current borders state impact you, whether you are already an expatriate in Norway or are planning to move there soon?

Do you have some visibility about the future of borders in your country of expatriation, in the longer or shorter term?

Thank you in advance for your contribution :)

Cheryl,

for the latest information on what rules apply to different situations, the immigration directorate has a website here:

I'm a long term resident at this point so it hasn't affected my situation here but it's definitely hard to not be able to see my family in the US! My kids miss their grandma a lot.
