STOCKHOLM, 23 May. /TASS/. The Norwegian authorities will impose further restrictions on Russian tourists from May 29. Oslo said it would grant exemptions "in certain cases", for example, for those visiting their close relatives staying in Norway.
"Russian citizens whose purpose is tourism and other trips that are not necessary will be refused entry across the external border. The restriction applies both to those with visas issued by Norway before the visa cap in the spring of 2022 and to visas issued by other Schengen countries," the Norwegian government said in a press release on its website, adding that the move will come into effect on May 29.
Oslo has said it will grant exemptions "in certain cases", including for people visiting their close relatives residing in Norway or for Russian citizens working or studying in Norway or other Schengen countries.
Norway also said it was "closely monitoring" the situation at the Storskog border crossing along its border with Russia and "will take measures if necessary".
