Overstaying in Norway: fine, entry ban and enforcement
This is what Norway's own national law adds on top of the EU-wide entry-ban mechanism — every Schengen country runs that same baseline process, explained on the general overstay-penalties page, but the fine amount and exact enforcement style are set by each country individually.
Fine
Norway does not impose fines for Immigration Act violations, per the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration's own definitions
Entry ban
2, 5 or 10 years, or permanent, applied Schengen-wide
How it's enforced in practice
Expulsion is specifically considered for overstays of 30 or more days for third-country nationals. The ban must be formally lifted before re-entry becomes possible again. Norway is Schengen-associated but not an EU member (EFTA/EEA), so this is sourced from Norway's own immigration authority rather than an EU directive.
