- Norway extends entry restrictions
Overview
The Norwegian government announced that current entry restrictions will be extended beginning 29 Oct 2021. The end date for this extension has yet to be announced. Entry restriction exemptions apply to:
- All travelers, regardless of departure country, who are fully vaccinated, who have a valid and verifiable vaccination information;
- All EEA nationals, including travelers from third countries who currently reside in the EEA and Schengen area;
- Travelers who live in purple list countries; and

What's Changed?
Norway has enforced strict entry restrictions since March 2020, with some easing in restrictions beginning in September. This latest change will extend these restrictions until the Norwegian government can ensure a decrease in COVID-19 infection rates.
