Because of the war in Ukraine
Norway now bans Russians from entering the country
Norway is increasingly isolating itself from the Kremlin: from May 29, Russians will no longer be able to enter the country. The statement explains that this decision was taken against the backdrop of "Russia's illegal aggression against Ukraine".
Shortly after the war of aggression began, in spring 2022, Oslo had already tightened visa regulations for Russian citizens. As a result, the issuing of tourist visas was largely discontinued. The country is now taking additional steps.
The ban affects Austrian citizens who could still be issued a Norwegian tourist visa as well as anyone who has a Schengen visa issued by another country, the Norwegian government announced in a statement on Thursday.
Close relatives can be visited
However, an exception would be made for visits by parents, spouses or children living in Norway. Russian citizens working or studying in Norway could also continue to enter the country.
The situation at the Storskog border checkpoint, which is located on the border with the Russian region of Murmansk, is also being closely monitored. Oslo said it was prepared to take measures if necessary.
