Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, Moldova, and Canada have been removed from Norway’s purple list after the latter’s authorities estimated that these countries recently reported a high number of COVID-19 infections, based on the data provided by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH).
According to the weekly risk assessment published on the Norwegian Ministry of Health official site, countries that remain on the purple list are Australia, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and Taiwan, SchengenVisaInfo.com reports.
Typically, travellers from these countries are not allowed to enter Norway without undergoing quarantine unless they are grandparents and boyfriends or girlfriends of Norwegian citizens. For the boyfriends and girlfriends category, the travellers must provide a consent document from their partner, confirming they have been dating for more than six months.

However, authorities in Norway previously stressed that fully vaccinated travellers and those who have recovered from the Coronavirus are not required to follow quarantine requirements or other preventive measures imposed to stop the spread of the virus.
Previously, Norway reintroduced the entry ban for Kosovans, Ukrainians and North Macedonians since the countries were removed from the purple list due to increases in infection rates with Coronavirus.
However, the entry ban won’t probably last long for Ukrainians and North Macedonians who have successfully connected to the EU Digital COVID-19 Certificate (EUDCC) gateway, becoming among the first third countries, as well as Turkey, to issue such a document for its travellers.
“At the same time, North Macedonia, Turkey, and Ukraine have agreed to accept the EU Digital COVID Certificate for travel from the EU to their countries. Their participation in the EU’s Digital COVID Certificate will thus facilitate safe travel to and from the EU,” the EU Commission noted in a press release announcing the decision.
The EU Digital COVID-19 Vaccination Passport is a document issued for those fully vaccinated against the virus, recovered or tested negative for the virus recently. The EU establishes the document in a bid to offer security and facilitate travelling across Europe amid the pandemic.
On the other hand, the Norwegian government has recently announced it recognises the COVID-19 certificates issued by Northern Ireland, used for travelling.
According to a press release issued by the Norwegian Ministry of Health and Care Services, travellers from Northern Ireland who have received the single or both shots of a vaccine authorised by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) – AstraZeneca, Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson- will now be allowed to travel freely to Norway.
>>Norway Recognises Only EMA-Approved Vaccines for Travel
Since different vaccines are recognised across the world, VisaGuide.World has created a tool designated to indicate if one type of vaccine is accepted in your country or the destination country.
The World Health Organisation data reveals that no deaths related to Coronavirus have been reported in Norway in the past 24 hours, but 609 have tested positive for the virus. Since the pandemic started, 811 people in Norway have lost their lives due to the virus, and 146,369 have been infected.
The country is implementing a robust vaccination campaign with 86.3 per cent of its population being inoculated with the first dose of the vaccine whereas 48.6 per cent is fully immunised from the virus.
