Healthcare benefits during a temporary stay in Norway
On this page you will find an overview of which healthcare rights you have during a temporary stay in Norway if you are from another EU/EEA country or Switzerland. It is advisable that you bring your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) with you. The card serves as proof of your entitlement to necessary treatment covered by the Norwegian national health service.

You cannot use your European Health Insurance Card in Norway if you are a citizen from a country outside of the EU/EEA or Switzerland. This applies even if you are currently living in the EU/EEA or Switzerland. In this case, you need a private health insurance.
