Do I need a visa to work on a production in Norway?
For stays under 90 days, no visa is needed if you come from an EU/EEA country or another visa‑exempt country and are paid by a non‑Norwegian employer. Check the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration for details.
Do I need permits to film?
Norway has no national film ordinance, so smaller shoots often don’t require permits. However, filming in public or private buildings, national parks, or productions involving traffic control usually requires approval from local authorities or landowners. Because requirements vary by location, it’s best to work with a local fixer or line producer who knows the area and permitting process.
What are the rules for drone filming?
Norway applies EU/EASA drone regulations. Flying in national parks requires a special permit and operators should consult the Safe to Fly map and the Civil Aviation Authority’s guide. We use our experienced local crew who knows all the local regulations.
How accessible are crew and equipment?
Norwegian crews are efficient, internationally experienced and speak excellent English. Rental houses with modern gear are based in Oslo and some in Bergen. Productions often use smaller crews than elsewhere because of this efficiency.
How easy is it to travel between locations?
Distances in Norway can be surprisingly large, especially along the west coast and in the north where roads follow fjords, mountains and islands. Weather can shift quickly and affect both travel and shooting schedules. That said, productions here are used to working efficiently in remote conditions, often with smaller and highly experienced crews. Local knowledge is important when planning logistics and movement between locations. A good local team can usually help find a lot of visual variation within a relatively small area.
When is the best time to shoot?
Not an easy question to answer. We have alternatives for winter throughout most of summer, and bare landscapes also during winter. But in general, Norway has four very distinct seasons. Summer offers long days and even midnight sun, while winter brings dramatic “blue hour” light. Choose the time of year based on the mood you want to create.
