Hi pandits

I am an Indian Passport holder and living in UK on Permanent Residency VISA. I do have to take a Norway VISA to travel.

I bought my bike in UK with UK registration and have full UK licence.

I read through the Carnet de Passages en Douane in this site. Just clarify to me if I need a Carnet de Passage for my trip to Norway.

Please opine

Hei Badrakumar,
No Carnet necessary for Scandinavia.
Driving Licence, may be smart to have an International Driving Licence in case you have an accident - it's not mandatory.
Registration docs,
Green Card, proof of valid insurance.
Big smile - gets you everywhere.

Velkommen

Peter, in Oslo

Green Card

Hei Badrakumar,
Short answer: Green Card (it's green) is the name of the certificate your insurance company issues for travel in european countries confirming that you have adequete cover for any damage you might cause to another person or thing. It used to be free, probably not anymore.

Long answer: International Motor Insurance Card System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To your list of documents you should add a couple of standard accident forms - that way you know what you are signing, and have some idea of what your opponent is stating.

Watch out for both wild and domestic animals using the roads, your Green Card and accident report won't help very much if you hit an elk.

Have a good trip

Peter, in Oslo

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
