SVALBARD VISA EXEMPTION

The rules for entry and residence are different on Svalbard than in mainland Norway. Although Norway is a part of the Schengen Agreement, Svalbard is excluded. Norwegian authorities do not require a visa for entry to Svalbard in itself, but if you have visa requirements to Norway / Schengen, then you must have a visa there if you are traveling through Norway / Schengen on the way to or from Svalbard.

Svalbard does not have any visa requirements. Foreigners do not need a visa or working permit from the Norwegian authorities. Foreign nationals with visa requirements to the Schengen area, must have a visa to Schengen while traveling through mainland Norway on the way to or from Svalbard. It is important to ensure that researchers get permission to two entries in their visas could to be able to return to the Schengen area (mainland Norway) for stays of Svalbard.
