Current Travel Situation
Ukraine to Norway: What You Need to Know
Norway is a NATO member and one of Ukraine's major supporters, providing both military and humanitarian assistance. As a non-EU Schengen member, Norway applies the same entry rules as EU Schengen countries, meaning Ukrainian biometric passport holders enjoy full visa-free access. Oslo is a vibrant Nordic capital, and Norway's fjord landscapes are among the world's most spectacular. The Norwegian government has welcomed Ukrainian displaced persons and maintains strong bilateral relations.
How to Get There
Norway borders Sweden, which is also Schengen and visa-free for Ukrainians. Stockholm to Oslo by train takes 6 hours. Copenhagen to Oslo by train takes around 8 hours. FlixBus operates budget bus routes across Scandinavia.
Money & Banking
Norway uses the Norwegian Krone (NOK). Cards are universally accepted; Norway is effectively cashless. ATMs are available but rarely needed.
Practical Tips
There are no direct flights from Ukraine to Norway. Ukrainians typically fly from Warsaw (WAW) to Oslo Gardermoen (OSL) or Bergen (BGO). Norwegian Air and SAS operate from Polish airports to Norway. Alternatively, a ferry from Denmark (Hirtshals) or Sweden (Gothenburg) reaches Oslo.

Has Norway accepted Ukrainian displaced persons?
