Dispensation for tourism operators

Tourism operators may apply for dispensation for up to three years at a time. The application form can be found here. An overview of operators with dispensation is posted below. 

Dispensation for individuals

Do you live outside Norway? If you visit a tourism operator with dispensation, you may take advantage of their dispensation while you are a guest.

You may be granted dispensation from the residency requirement if:

• you have close family in Finnmark, i.e. parents, parents-in-law, siblings or children
• you are working in Finnmark, at least 1 month during the current fishing period
• fishing and transportation related to fishing is performed without use of motorized vehicles

If you have other reasons that exempt you from the residency requirement, you may send a written application to FeFo.

There will be created a separate fishing permit for non-residents, which will be available for purchase at NatureIT from the beginning of March 2020. The fisherman must confirm that the conditions for dispensation are met before purchase.
