Warsaw to Ålesund (WAW–AES) — Airlines, Schedules & Connections

Polish passport holders enter Norway freely under EEA rules. No visa, no time limit on stays. Bring your Polish passport or national ID card (both work). Norway is in the Schengen area, so flights from Poland have no passport control on arrival. Norway is not in the EU but grants full free movement to EU/EEA citizens.

For stays beyond 3 months, register with the police (UDI registration scheme). You need proof of employment, self-employment, or sufficient funds. Registration takes 2 to 4 weeks and provides a registration certificate. EU/EEA citizens can work in Norway without a work permit. A D-number (temporary tax ID) is assigned when you register for work. The full personal number (fodselsnummer) comes after registering at the tax office.
