You do not need to complete the travel quarantine in a quarantine hotel if you can document one of the following points:

You are a Norwegian resident, or you can document permanent residence in Norway, regardless of whether it is owned or rented.
You have a suitable place of residence to carry out the quarantine. Persons in the same household travelling together to Norway can be in the entry quarantines in the same whereabouts, without the requirement for a single room.
You are married or have joint children with a person who has permanent residence in Norway. Then you can conduct the quarantine in the residence of the spouse or the other parent. This also applies to your underage children.
Employer ensures suitable whereabouts where it is possible to avoid close contact with others, with private TV and internet access, private bathroom, and own kitchen or food service.
You are a professional long haul truck driver, train personnel who do not work on freight trains or military personnel, and are exceptions to the quarantine rules: Covid-19 Regulations.

A stay in a quarantine hotel will cost NOK 500 per night for private individuals over the age of 18 and likewise for employers. Children between the ages of 10 and 18 have a deductible of NOK 250 per night, and children under 10 years old are excluded deductible when living with guardians.

How to conduct travel quarantine

The quarantine lasts 10 days from arrival to Norway. If you are in quarantine, you should:

Stay in your own home, in a quarantine hotel or a suitable place with a private room that your employer provides.
Do not attend work, school or kindergarten.
Do not make domestic travel.
Do not attend to places where it is difficult to keep the necessary distance to other people.
Do not take public transport (except on arrival from abroad on the way to the quarantine, or the other way around if you leave Norway before the quarantine is over. Those over the age of 12 should then use a mouthpiece.)
Do not visit public places, such as shops, pharmacies, and cafes. If you have no other option, you can do your necessary buying at the store or the pharmacy. Be sure to keep a good distance from others.
Avoid having visitors. Children should not have playmates except their own household.

You can walk outside but keep a good distance from others.
