This also applies to Russians with Norwegian visas issued before 2022 and visas issued by other Schengen states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those changes will allow police officers to refuse the entry of Russian citizens at the external border, though exceptions will be made in certain cases. This includes Russians who want to visit close family members or who plan to work or study in Norway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The decision to tighten the entry rules are in line with the Norwegian approach of standing by allies and partners in the reactions against Russia&#8217;s illegal war of aggression against Ukraine,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.regjeringen.no\/en\/aktuelt\/restricting-the-possibilities-of-entry-for-russian-citizens\/id3040398\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> Justice and Public Security Minister Emilie Enger Mehl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Karl Erik Sj\u00f8holt, the Director of Residence at the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI), told BNO News that the new measures only apply to Russians who travel from outside Schengen&#8217;s external borders.
