Non-Norwegian citizens with a Norwegian employer:

Tourists and non-Norwegian citizens without a Norwegian employer

Must pay for the consultation/service in full. (This applies e.g. to self-employed permanent residents without a Norwegian passport.)

PLEASE NOTE! Please note that Svalbard is outside Schengen, which may mean that European travel insurance does not cover expenses at the same level as on mainland Norway.

You are defined as a permanent resident of Svalbard when you are registered in the National Population Register as living on Svalbard with a planned stay of longer than six months. 

You are considered a visitor if the stay is shorter than six months. 

The Norwegian website helsenorge.no has important information about issues like GPs, health services and rights, your right to an interpreter, and other things that you should know about when living in Norway.
