Entry into Norway with COVID-19 certificate
From Thursday, a COVID-19 certificate can also be used by travellers to Norway from the EU and EEA countries that have joined the system, and who have an EU COVID-19 certificate that can be verified with a QR code that shows full vaccination or having had COVID-19 in the last six months.
Here are the changes made in the new version of the COVID-19 certificate that will be available from tomorrow:
- The “extended control page” will be renamed to “EU / EEA.”
- Only the last vaccine dose is listed, with the type of vaccine (name) and the date it was given. If you have taken two doses, it will say 2 out of 2. The inspector can also see that you have taken two doses via the QR code.
- Middle names are included on the international control page.
- It is explained that the name is abbreviated on the Norwegian control page.
