Step-by-Step Application Process
Travel to Norway
Travel to Norway via air (e.g., Oslo OSL), land, or sea. There are generally no passport controls within the Schengen Zone, but carry ID.
Registration (For Long Stays)
If you plan to stay longer than 3 months, you must register your stay with the Norwegian police (Politiet) or the Service Centre for Foreign Workers (SUA).
Get a D-Number / National ID
Once registered, you'll receive a D-Number (for stays under 6 months) or a National ID Number (for over 6 months), which is required to open a bank account or pay taxes.
Required Documents
- βValid Spanish Passport or National Identity Card (DNI)
Important Tips
- β’While your DNI is valid, bringing your passport is highly recommended, as some Norwegian banks and institutions only accept passports for identifying foreigners.
- β’The currency is the Norwegian Krone (NOK). Norway is almost entirely cashless; bring a card with no foreign transaction fees.
- β’Alcohol is heavily taxed and sold only through state-run stores (Vinmonopolet), which have restricted opening hours.
- β’Winter conditions require specialized driving skills; winter tires are mandatory. Public transport is excellent and highly recommended.
- β’Healthcare is generally free or low-cost once you are registered and have a Norwegian ID number, but you should bring your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) for initial coverage.
