Summary

• Svalbard Visa: Travelers entering Svalbard do not require a visa specifically for Svalbard; however, if you are from a country that requires a visa to enter Norway or the Schengen Area, you must have a visa to transit through Norway or Schengen countries on your way to or from Svalbard.

• To facilitate your return journey, ensure your visa includes at least two entries, which will allow you to re-enter the Schengen area (mainland Norway) after visiting Svalbard.

• Foreign nationals residing on Svalbard may apply for a visa to Norway/Schengen through the Governor's office.

• When applying for a visa, it is essential to request two or more entries.

• This is because Svalbard is outside the Schengen area, even though it is part of Norway.
