Working in Norway during the Corona pandemic

Norway introduced strict entry regulations and border control relatively early in the pandemic, which they have maintained throughout. There is a strictly enforced quarantine period upon entering the country, however some are exempt from the quarantine if they have a socially critical job.

Many foreign companies experience that projects and deliveries in Norway are cancelled or postponed during this period. This, of course, creates some uncertainty. In particular, we encounter questions about whether it is possible to enter Norway as an employee from another EU/EEA country, and whether they are exempt from the quarantine.

The current rules and regulations are subject to change at short notice. We have gathered some relevant links who can hopefully answer your questions:

  • Avinor (Air traffic and operations)
  • The Norwegian Directorate of Immigration
  • HelseNorge
  • The Norwegian Directorate of Health
  • National Institute of Public Health
  • Our customers are more than welcome to contact us for further interpretation and assessment of the rules and how they apply for your situation. Also, be aware of the rules upon reentry to your home country.

    Stay safe!
