Safety During International Travel

"Summer is approaching, and it's peak season for international travel. Whether your trip is work-related or personal, many of the same travel tips apply. A safe trip is a good trip," says OsloMet's Chief Security Officer, Stian Rabe.

"Before you travel, it's important to familiarize yourself with the area you’re visiting. Entry regulations, local laws, and customs vary from country to country. Recently, we’ve seen how quickly these can change," says Rabe.

For both business and personal travel, ensure you have valid travel insurance. For Norwegian citizens, it is recommended to download the app, Reiseklar (regjeringen.no) and registering your trip in the app.

This allows the foreign service to know where you are and contact you easily. In major emergencies, you’ll receive updates and advice on the situation in your area. Check if there are similar options available in the country where you hold citizenship.

At Sikresiden.no, you’ll find excellent travel tips and a list of contact points in case of unwanted incidents. All employees are encouraged to add this to their mobile home screens.

How to add Sikresiden.no to your mobile home screen:

Open your mobile browser and go to www.sikresiden.no/en
Select OsloMet as your institution or study location.
Choose "Add to Home Screen."

Familiarize yourself with the guidelines for business travel. Remember that all travel bookings must be approved by your manager in advance and made through Berg-Hansen. By booking through Berg-Hansen's systems, HR will have an overview of your location, enabling them to assist you more effectively if needed.

IT Security

OsloMet has specific rules for the use of electronic devices abroad. Make sure to familiarize yourself with our recommendations and requirements if you are planning to travel internationally.

Are you traveling to a region where you are unsure about the applicable rules? Contact the IT Service Desk. They will assist you with the necessary measures.

Often, simplicity is best. Be mindful of your surroundings. Have a safe trip!
