What are the current travel restrictions for Longyearbyen?

Currently, Norway travel restrictions include travel to Longyearbyen. Entry restrictions

Norway has lifted restrictions on entry into Norway for people resident in countries in the UK, Schengen area or EEA that have an acceptable level of infection. This means that residents of these countries will not be subject to quarantine when arriving to Norway. Nationals of these countries may still travel to Norway from other areas if they reside, work, or have property in Norway. Travelers who are not residents in the above-named countries may only travel to Norway for specific reasons, for example to begin work or study in Norway, provided that the work is imminent. In order to gain entry, they will need to bring a copy of a work contract. People coming to Norway to work on a temporary assignment you should also bring evidence of this. Those who come to Norway to work or study are required to follow the quarantine regulations. Non-residents are still able to transit via Norwegian airports as long as the final destination is not within Norway.

Entry is still restricted for most other travelers who are not nationals or residents of the UK, Schengen area or EEA countries. From November 9, all travelers coming from high-risk countries must present a medical certificate with a negative COVID-19 PCR test results issued within 72 hours prior to arrival. Travelers must have a confirmed quarantine accommodation for the period of intended stay.
