Rules

Work and customs

Visas

Residence permits for seafarers

UDI lists who needs a permit by the ship's flag and route. For a foreign-registered ship that carries cargo or passengers between Norwegian ports for at least three months in a row, crew need an offer of full-time work on board. The UDI page does not mention yachts. Check the rules for your passport.

Short stays

Work for less than three months

UDI says nationals of countries outside the EU/EEA normally need a residence permit to work in Norway. It lists exemptions for stays under three months, by occupation. Check the rules for your passport.

Customs

Foreign boats on a visit

Norwegian Customs says a tourist can bring a foreign recreational boat for a temporary stay without taxes. The boat must be for personal use. Customs says such a visitor does not need to report on arrival (updated 27 November 2025).
