Nemojte da se zaludjujete sa stranim dozvolama, lijepo pise da; Dozvola vazi iz zemlje iz koje imate pasos,odnosno u kome je norveska visa. Tako mi je rekla zena u Vegvesenu a stoji i na internetu. EU je pocela polako da priznaje nase nove dozvole ,Italija je to uradila pre neki dan,tako da ce sigurno i ostale zemlje to uskoro uradi !
Have you moved to Norway from another EEA country?
If you have a valid driving licence, you do not need to exchange it in order to continue driving in Norway
A driving licence has generally the same validity in Norway as in the country of issue. However, you are subject to the Norwegian health requirements and to the validity period for driving licence categories in Norway.
For this reason you should contact a traffic service office to find out exactly what driving entitlements you have. The alternative to retaining your current driving licence is to exchange it for a Norwegian driving licence.
Prior to 10 September 2008, driving licences in the heavy categories (Categories C1, C1E, C, CE, D1, D1E, D and DE) were valid for 10 years from the date of registration of residence in Norway, but the validity period of the foreign driving licence could not be exceeded. Today the validity period is 5 years, but for a transitional period this may be somewhat longer if you took up permanent residence in Norway before 10 September 2008. When you renew your foreign driving licence, you must present a satisfactory medical certificate; your driving licence will then be valid for 5 years.
If you apply to exchange your foreign driving licence for these heavy categories more than one year after its expiry date, you must pass a practical driving test before you can be issued with a Norwegian driving licence for the corresponding categories.
Your foreign driving licence will then be returned to the country of issue with the information that you have been issued with a Norwegian driving licence.
Countries outside the EU/EEA
If you have moved to Norway and your driving licence was issued outside the EU/EEA in one of the following countries: Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Israel, Monaco, New Zealand, San Marino, South Korea or the USA you can exchange it for a Norwegian driving licence after passing a practical driving test. This exchange must be made within one year of your taking up normal residence in Norway.
If you have a passenger car licence from Japan, you can exchange it for a Norwegian Category B licence without taking a practical driving test. This also applies to a Swiss driving licence. This exchange must be made within one year of your taking up normal residence in Norway.
For such an exchange to be made, all the conditions stipulated for a Norwegian driving licence must be fulfilled:
•The driving licence must be valid when the application is submitted
•The licence holder must be legally resident in Norway and have a residence permit
•The licence holder must have reached the age stipulated for driving a passenger car in Norway
If you have a driving licence from a country outside the EU/EEA, you must acquire your drivinglicense in the same manner as first-time applicants in Norway. However, you do not have to take the theory part of the course in basic road traffic knowledge, but you must complete mandatory courses in night driving and first aid.
If you have a Category B driving licence (passenger car) issued in Greenland after 1 January 1995, you can exchange it for a Norwegian driving licence after passing a practical driving test.
Contact a traffic service office to find out what steps you need to take to be allowed to drive in Norway.
Driving as a visitor
People coming to Norway from countries outside the EU/EEA after 1 July 2010 can use their foreign driving licence for up to three months after residence in Norway has been registered before exchanging it for a Norwegian licence. Registration of residence means registration with the Norwegian authorities. These rules apply both to people visiting Norway (tourists, students and the like) and to people who take up normal residence in the country. It is not possible to apply for an extension of driving entitlements after the three months have expired.
Motorcycle
If you have a Category A1 (light motorcycle) or Category A (motorcycle) licence and want to retain the driving entitlement of this category, you must pass the practical driving test in this category before being granted a Norwegian licence. This applies to all the countries whose licence holders have the right to exchange their licences for a Norwegian licence.

Ako sam dobro procitao, nigde se ne pominje da VD mora biti iz iste zemlje kao pasos ??? Sta npr: ako sam ja radio u Sloveniji. Imao ugovor,privremenu prijavu boravka i privremenu radnu dozvolu, na osnovu kojih sam mozda stekao pravo da polozim i dobijem njihovu VD, ali nisam stekao pravo da budem njihov drzavljanin. Ovo je samo moje razmisljanje, ne kazem i netvrdim da je tacno !!!
