What to Pack
Almost everything you’re likely to need- medicines, toiletries, and camera film included- are easily available in Norway, although you might be wise to stock up on extra supplies if you’re headed for the remoter parts of the country. Some brands may not be the same as what you’re used to at home, so if you’re choosy about what you use, you should bring along additional supplies, even if you’re going to be staying in large cities.
Remember that Norway’s a cold country, and even in the summers it can get pretty chilly outdoors. Pack your bags well with woolens and a mackintosh, and if you’re going to be camping, take along mosquito repellant, sunscreen and sunglasses- especially if you’re going north.

Travel Documents
Nationals of most countries in West Europe and the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, need only a valid passport to enter Norway for trips of less than three months. If you’re going to be staying in the country for more than three months, you’ll need to get a visa issued from a Norwegian embassy. Nationals of other countries- in Asia, South America, Africa and East Europe- need visas, which can be obtained from Norwegian diplomatic missions abroad. Effective March 25, 2001, Norway has become a member of the Schengen states, meaning that a Schengen visa will gain you entry into the country, except for Svalbard, without the bother of repeated document scans.
