Ukraine and Norway have agreed to extend the "transport visa-free regime". Until June 30, 2025, Ukrainian and Norwegian carriers will be able to carry out bilateral and transit transportation between our countries without additional permits. The latter not only simplifies the conditions for business, but also contributes to the development of the economies of both countries

- the ministry said on Telegram.

The visa-free regime will reportedly apply to trucks of Euro-5 and higher standard.

"It is important that drivers are required to carry a certificate confirming the environmental class on board the truck. Also, there must be an extract from the transportation license on board," the ministry said.

According to the Ministry of Infrastructure, Ukrainian carriers already have access to a "transport visa-free regime" with 37 countries, including the EU.
