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's illegal war of aggression against Ukraine.
Exception will be made for work, study, and close family visits; tourists with long-term visas or visas from other Schengen countries can no longer enter from May 29th.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov criticized Norway's decision, stating it would have a response and expressing regret over the deteriorating relations.
Norway's actions, like the expulsion of Russian embassy employees in 2023, align with similar measures by the EU post Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
