United Arab Emirates citizens can enter Norway without a visa and stay for up to 90 days. You only need a valid United Arab Emirates passport at the border; immigration officers may still ask for a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and enough money for your stay. The 90-day limit usually counts calendar days from your arrival, so book your return flight inside that window.
Whatever your visa status, Norway applies the same entry conditions to every traveller:
Norway lets 93 passports in without a visa and requires an embassy visa from 105. United Arab Emirates citizens are treated the same way as Brunei, Hong Kong, Israel, Japan and Macau. Overall the United Arab Emirates passport ranks #2 in the world with 128 visa-free destinations.
Planning a longer trip in Europe? With a United Arab Emirates passport you can also visit 47 countries in the region without a visa, including Andorra, Albania, Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Belgium and Bulgaria.
In the other direction, Norway citizens need visa on arrival to visit United Arab Emirates.

Breaching § 55 first or second paragraph is punishable by a fine, up to six months' imprisonment, or both. A foreigner may be expelled for serious or repeated breaches of the Act or of the Border Act, for knowingly or grossly negligently giving materially false or clearly misleading information, or for evading a decision imposing a duty to leave. Expulsion bars later entry to Norway and the Schengen and EU area, permanently or for a limited period of at least one year. An entry ban given under § 66 first paragraph (a), (d) or (f) or second paragraph may be for one, two or five years, and for more than five years where public order or fundamental national interests make it necessary.
