Visitors from Scandinavian countries can freely visit Norway as tourists. If they are going to work (even in connection with research) they are obliged to register with the foreign police in person, within 7 days. Scandinavians do not require a work permit.

Foreigners from outside Scandinavia who are staying at the site are obliged to fill in "MELDESKJEMA FOR UTLENDINGER" (aliens registration form) and send it to the local foreign police office.

Visiting scientists from outside Scandinavia who visit the site and are going to work (at the site) are obliged to register with the foreign police office, within 7 days, in person. These visitors also require a work and residence permit. This permit should be applied for from the visitors native country through the Norwegian foreign office in his/her respective country.

Visiting scientists and special technicians (experts) who are visiting the site for a period up to three months are exempted from the requirement for a work permit but are still obliged to register with the foreign police, in person.

Visitors who are not going to do any kind of work can stay in Norway for up to 3 months as tourists.

All visitors are required to have a valid passport.

To comply with the legal requirements and at the same time facilitate our own work and make the stay at the Ramfjordmoen site as uncomplicated as possible, we have, in coordination with the local foreign police, arranged that these requirements can be handled locally at the site.
