When you receive a temporary residence permit from UDI as a refugee from Ukraine, you can use the vehicle for up to 2 years from the granting of the residence permit without paying customs duties.
This applies to people who have not previously had a connection to Norway. This means that you have not lived or been registered in Norway for more than 365 days in the last two years before you were granted a residence permit. Being assigned a d number does not mean that you are registered in the national register.
Remember that you must always be able to document that you meet the conditions for using a vehicle registered abroad in Norway. This means that you must be able to show a UDI temporary residence permit.
You do not need to apply or contact the tax administration to use the vehicle as long as use in Norway is limited to 2 years.
You can also use the vehicle in Norway tax-free from the time you enter the country until you obtain a residence permit. You also do not have to submit an application or contact the Tax Office for this purpose.

Important points to keep in mind
Remember to terminate your contract with the toll service provider and remove the recording device from the vehicle if you sell the car. You are responsible for paying tolls regardless of who is using the vehicle as long as the contract is in effect.
Similarly, if you have registered with Epass24, remember to terminate the user agreement if you sell your vehicle.
Monthly fee limit
A monthly toll limit is practiced in many AutoPASS toll road projects. This is a limit to the number of tolls that can be invoiced in one calendar month. The actual limit varies by charging system.
