Visa policy of Svalbard

Politics of Norway

Uniquely, the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard, located in the High Arctic, is an entirely visa-free zone. However, travelers who have a visa requirement to enter mainland Norway/the Schengen area must have a Schengen visa if they travel via mainland Norway/the Schengen area. This must be a double-entry visa so they can return to mainland Norway/the Schengen area.[1]

Those traveling to and from Svalbard must bring passports or national identity cards, as all are subject to identity checks. Passports or national identity cards satisfy the Schengen regulatory requirements for identity verification.[2] Due to a transitional arrangement, Norwegian citizens were formerly also able to prove their identity with a document issued in Norway which include at least a name, photo and date of birth, such as a Norwegian driving licence issued after 1998;[3] the transitional period ended on 31 August 2022.[4]

Everybody may live and work in Svalbard indefinitely regardless of country of citizenship. The Svalbard Treaty grants treaty nationals equal right of abode as Norwegian nationals. Non-treaty nationals may live and work indefinitely visa-free as well. Per Sefland, then Governor of Svalbard, said "It has been a chosen policy so far that we haven't made any difference between the treaty citizens and those from outside the treaty".[5] "Regulations concerning rejection and expulsion from Svalbard" are enforced on a non-discriminatory basis. Grounds for exclusion include lack of means of support, and violation of laws or regulations.[6]

Hans-Henrik Hartmann, then head of the legal unit at the Norwegian government's immigration department, said, "If an asylum seeker is refused residence in Norway he can settle in Svalbard so long as he can get there and is able to pay for himself."[5] Svalbard has a high cost of living, but only a limited welfare system. Welfare and health care is available only for Norwegians and for workers employed by a Norwegian company.[7]

The Norwegian Nationality Act applies to Svalbard, see Section 1. However, the Act does not provide any special rules for foreign nationals residing on Svalbard. Foreigners living on Svalbard must meet the conditions of the law to obtain Norwegian citizenship. In order to acquire Norwegian citizenship upon application, there is, according to the main rule, a requirement to fulfill the conditions for a permanent residence permit, and consequently a requirement for residence on the Norwegian mainland with a residence permit.[8] Such permits are granted in accordance with the Norwegian Immigration Act. Because the Norwegian Immigration Act does not apply to Svalbard, see Section 6, residence on Svalbard does not qualify foreign nationals for residence permits on the Norwegian mainland.[9]

Samarium–neodymium dating

Radiometric dating method useful for determining the ages of rocks and meteorites Samarium–neodymium dating is a radiometric dating method useful for determining the ages of rocks and meteorites, based on the alpha decay of the long-lived samarium isotope (147Sm) to the stable radiogenic neodymium isotope (143Nd). Neodymium isotope ratios together with samarium-neodymium ratios are used to provide information on the age and source of igneous melts. It is sometimes assumed that at the moment...
