GI-06/2024 Rejection of Russian citizens with Schengen visas for tourist purposes and other non-essential travel, in accordance with section 126, first paragraph of the Immigration Act

The Immigration Regulations have been amended with new authorisations for decision-making and case processing competence in Chapter 19A of the Immigration Regulations. Russian citizens whose purpose is tourism and other non-essential travel will be rejected upon entry across the external border. The restriction applies both to those who have visas issued by Norway before visa practices were restricted in the spring of 2022 and to visas issued by other Schengen countries.
