Travellers arriving from red and dark red countries and regions have to show a negative test result taken before arrival, complete the entry registration form, test upon arrival and undergo the entry quarantine. For dark red countries, self-isolation has to be completed in quarantine hotels.

People arriving from green countries and regions must also go into quarantine if they have visited or transited through an orange/red/grey/purple country or region during the past 10 days. However, if you are arriving from a green country/region having travelled via an orange/red country/region without using public transport, without staying overnight there, and without having had close contact with anyone other than members of your own household, you do not need to go into quarantine after arriving in Norway.

Fully vaccinated people and those who have had COVID-19 during the past six months are exempt from entry quarantine. Protected people who received their first vaccine dose between three and 15 weeks ago and children under 18 must go into entry quarantine, but may end their quarantine if they test negative no earlier than three days after arrival.
