The UK government says Norway follows Schengen area rules, and EU nationals have the right to travel freely there. Under Regulation (EU) 2018/1806 (consolidated to 30 December 2025), nationals of the countries in its Annex II, including the United States and the United Kingdom, are exempt from the visa requirement for stays of no more than 90 days in any 180-day period, and nationals of the countries in Annex I must hold a visa. Canada's travel advice says Svalbard, although Norwegian territory, is not part of the Schengen area.

Passport validity: The UK government tells British nationals that Norway follows Schengen area rules: their passport must have a date of issue less than 10 years before the date they arrive and an expiry date at least 3 months after the day they plan to leave the Schengen area.
Blank passport pages: At least 2 blank passport pages.
Travel insurance: Under the Schengen Visa Code, visa applicants must hold travel medical insurance valid throughout the territory of the Member States and covering the entire period of the intended stay; the minimum coverage is EUR 30,000.
