Shopping, prices, language, work culture and daily matters. Finding your place in Norway.
How much alcohol, cigarettes or snus can you legally bring into Norway duty-free? We explain the current limits for 2026, rules for trips shorter than 24 hours, exchanging part of the allowance and what to do if you have more with you.
Are you returning to Norway with purchases from Poland or another country? The limit is not always 6000 NOK. It all depends on the length of your stay abroad, the type of goods, and whether the item will remain in Norway. We explain simply what counts toward the limit and when you must declare purchases at the border.
Are you planning a move to Norway? Before you pack the car, check your job, housing, documents and the budget for the first weeks. Then we will guide you through registration, skattekort, D-nummer or fødselsnummer and the first formalities after arrival.
