Norway

Norway follows EU-equivalent pet regulations as an EEA member. Pet travel to Norway is governed by the EU Animal Health Law (Regulation (EU) 2016/429), which has applied since 21 April 2021; there is no new Animal Health Law transition in April 2026. From EU/EEA countries: EU Pet Passport with ISO microchip and current rabies vaccination. Private travellers arriving with their own dog from an EU/EEA country may use any staffed customs crossing, must declare the animal at the red/nothing-to-declare customs channel, and must be ready to show documentation. Pre-notifying Mattilsynet before arrival is recommended but not mandatory for ordinary private EU/EEA dog travel. Mandatory entry via a designated Border Inspection Post such as Oslo Airport or Storskog, plus mandatory advance notification to the border veterinarian, applies to commercial imports and to animals arriving from third countries outside the EU/EEA. From listed third countries: health certificate, microchip, and rabies vaccination. From non-listed third countries: FAVN titer test showing at least 0.5 IU/ml, with the blood sample taken at least 30 days after rabies vaccination and entry no earlier than 3 months after the blood sample date. Dogs and ferrets are fully exempt from Norway’s echinococcus tapeworm treatment requirement regardless of origin country; the anti-echinococcus treatment applies only to dogs.
