Norway passport rank
About the Norway passport
The Norway passport is grouped with Europe in this index. It ranks #6 globally and #4 among 49 Europe passports, with a mobility score of 189.
Its current access profile includes 132 visa-free destinations,38 visas on arrival, and 19 destinations using an ETA. The detailed list below separates these from eVisas, traditional visas, and any officially documented entry restrictions.
Norwegian tax residents generally have worldwide income and wealth obligations. Becoming non-resident involves separate emigration conditions, and Norwegian-source liabilities and treaty rules can remain relevant after a move.
Entry rules can change without notice. Treat this as a comparison tool and verify official requirements before travel.
