Passport and visa

    When flying abroad, it is important to remember that different countries require different travel documentation depending on nationality, duration of the trip, and other stays. This may have changed since you last traveled or booked the trip, and it is your responsibility to ensure everything is in order.

    1. Travel Documentation

      When traveling abroad, it is important to remember that different countries require various travel documentation depending on factors such as nationality, duration of the trip, and other stays. This may have changed since you last traveled or booked the trip, and it is your responsibility to ensure that everything is in order. To see the current requirements for your destination, you can visit the government's travel information websites.

    2. Airline responsibility

      The airline is responsible for ensuring that their passengers have the correct documentation before departure. Therefore, you will be denied boarding if your documentation is not in order. Several countries also require you to have a return ticket upon entry, and some countries may require a visa even during a layover.

    3. You can only get emergency passports at these airports

      If you discover that your passport has expired or is missing, an emergency passport may be an option. An emergency passport is a temporary document that you can apply for at the police. Please note that not all countries accept emergency passports. Emergency passports can be issued at Oslo Airport, Stavanger Airport, and Bergen Airport. For more information about emergency passports, emergency passports for children, and opening hours at the different airports, visit the police's own websites.
