Application for temporary storage of a foreign recreational vessel (RD-0027)

In total, a boat may be used and stored in Norway for two consecutive years from the date of importation. Initially, you can send an application to leave the boat for one year from the time it entered the country.

If you need to leave the boat for a longer period, you may apply to Norwegian Customs to store the boat for an extended period until you reach the two-year limit. Such an application must be submitted to Norwegian Customs before the original deadline expires.

If you live outside Norway, or you have temporary residence in Norway and want your vessel to be stored in Norway for up to two years from the time of entry.

• Documentation of the agreement on the storage of the vessel (for example email, invoice, confirmation from the marina)
• Copy of passport/ID-card for the person that shall import and export the vessel
• If you are applying on behalf of others, kindly attach a power of attorney/ authorization signed by the registered owner of the vessel.
