Where can I travel with a Norwegian Convention Travel Document? - White Concrete Bridge

I had refugee protection in Norway under the Geneva convention with a Refugee Travel Document, except Schengen countries. Which other countries can I travel to with this document?



Best Answer

With a 1951 Convention refugee travel document issued by Norway, you can:

  • Use the travel document to travel to other countries in the Schengen area for up to 90 days in any 180 day period without a visa.
  • Use the travel document instead of a passport to apply for visas, and travel to, any countries outside the Schengen area except for one.

You cannot:

  • Return to the country from which you fled. Your refugee status may be revoked if you travel to this country.

In summary: You may travel to any country in the world except the country you came from, but most countries will require a visa.
