Frequently asked questions

What Svalbard and Jan Mayen may ask for

Not every traveller is asked for all of these. A valid passport is checked every time; the rest is a spot check at the border, and some items belong to a visa application rather than the crossing itself.

• Valid passport for identification purposes
• Travel insurance with Arctic evacuation coverage
• Schengen visa for Norway transit if required
• Accommodation booking in Longyearbyen
• Proof of funds for extremely high living costs
• Return flight ticket or onward travel proof
