Where can I travel with a Norwegian Convention Travel Document?

Question

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?

Answer 1

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.
