Overview of Travelling to UK from Norway
The UK and Norway have long enjoyed a cordial diplomatic relationship, covering shared cultural, economic and political ties.
One of the most prominent examples of Norwegian presence in the UK comes in the form of the Norwegian Christmas tree that stands in Trafalgar Square, London every year. It is given in remembrance of the UKâs support of Norwegian forces during the Second World War, and stands as a significant symbol of the two countriesâ lasting ties.
Meanwhile, Norwegian immigration to the UK might not be as prolific as other countries in Europe, but select parts of the UK, such as Shetland and Orkney, boast a large population of people with Norwegian heritage, and strong links to Scandinavian culture.
Norwegian nationals looking to travel to the UK may often do so without a visa for short periods of time. Norwegians are also eligible to apply for the EU Settlement Scheme , or one of the UKâs many visas that allow for long-term residency or the right to work or conduct business in the UK.
Visa-Free Travel to the UK for Norwegians
Norwegian nationals are able to travel to the UK without a visa to do any of the following:
- Engage in tourism
- See family or friends
- Volunteer for up to 30 days with a registered charity
- Pass through the UK to another country
- Do certain business activities, such as attending a meeting or interview
- Take part in a school exchange programme
- Do a recreational course of up to 30 days
- Study, do a placement or take an exam
- Visit as an academic, senior doctor or dentist
- Visit for medical reasons
Note that you will normally only be allowed to visit the UK for up to 6 months at a time in order to carry out the above activities.
Additionally, you will not be able to do paid or unpaid work for a UK company or as a self-employed person, access public funds, or live in the UK for long periods of time through frequent or successive visits.
Visa-Required Travel to the UK for Norwegians
If youâre a Norwegian intending to travel to the UK for a reason other than ones already listed, or you wish to stay in the UK long-term, you may have to apply for a visa.
Visas are available for a variety of purposes and to suit many different types of travellers. For instance, there are a range of work visas available, such as the Skilled Worker visa for general skilled work, the Health and Care Worker visa for foreign workers looking to work in the health sector, or the Sportsperson visa , for professionals in the sports industry.
The UK also has its own Student visa for those looking to study courses in the UK long-term. Graduates who have studied in the UK may also apply for a Graduate visa to continue to stay and work in the UK.
Some Norwegians may also already have family from the UK, such as children, partners or parents. If this is the case, then you may be eligible for a Family visa if you plan to settle in the UK long-term.
Most UK visas have a finite window of validity, which means that you will either have to apply to extend them or leave the UK when they expire. Some will additionally allow you to apply for permanent settlement in the UK, also known as indefinite leave to remain .
Get in touch with our immigration experts for help with your move to the UK from Norway.
UK Entry Requirements
When travelling to the UK, you will need to ensure that you have the right documents with you and that you adhere to UK government guidance on entry requirements for foreign visitors.
All Norwegian citizens must have either of the following when travelling to the UK:
- A valid passport
- A Norwegian national identity card, if youâre eligible to use one
Your document should be valid for the entirety of your stay in the UK.
Note that you will not be able to use a Norwegian national identity card to enter the UK unless you:
- Have settled or pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme, or Jersey, Guernsey or the Isle of Manâs settlement schemes
- Have an EU Settlement Scheme family permit, or the equivalent from Jersey, Guernsey or the Isle of Man
- Have a Frontier Worker permit
- Are an S2 Healthcare Visitor
You must also ensure that you have a valid visa if you need one, such as if you intend to work in the UK or stay in the UK long-term.
Also note that you and your baggage may be checked at the border for any restricted items, or for items that must be declared. You must always ensure that youâre up to date with border and luggage restrictions when travelling to the UK.

As of Friday 18 March 2022, all Covid travel rules have been dropped in the UK. This means that any travellers returning to the UK from Norway don't need to take any tests or quarantine on arrival in the UK and no longer need to fill out a passenger locator form . But what are the rules for entering Norway, and which tests are needed? Hereâs what you need to know.
What are the entry requirements for Norway?
It's now much easier to travel to and from Norway. There are currently no travel restrictions upon entering Norway â the same rules as prior to the pandemic now apply. As of Tuesday 1 March, travellers arriving into Svalbard no longer have to show evidence of a negative Covid test.Â
Wherever you're travelling, it's always best to check the government guidelines for your destination before booking and well ahead of your trip. It's also always wise to get travel insurance with Covid cover .Â

Gaining access to Norway's towns, mountains and fjords isn't too tricky for most travelers Peter Sundt / 500px
Like most countries in the Schengen area, Norway is easy to travel to if youâre from a country within the EU or EEA. If you live elsewhere, your dream trip to the land of the fjords, Vikings and northern lights could take a little more planning and may require a tourist visa. Â
Here's everything you need to know about tourist visa requirements for Norway, including information about Schengen visas, how much it costs and how to apply.
What is the Schengen area?
Although Norway is not a member of the EU, it is a member of the EEA, and itâs one of the 26 countries that form the Schengen area.
When youâre granted a visa to any of the countries in the Schengen zone, your visa is also valid for travel to any of the other Schengen countries. This is why youâll often hear the term âSchengen visa.â
The countries in the Schengen area are: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.
Youâll need to go through passport control when youâre entering and leaving the Schengen area. You donât usually have to show your passport when youâre crossing the border between Schengen countries.

Who doesn't need a visa to travel to Norway?
Eu/eea citizens.
If youâre a citizen or recognized resident of an EU or EEA country (and Switzerland), you donât need a tourist visa to travel to Norway, and you can stay for up to three months.
Thereâs no minimum period of time you have to wait before you can return, but you must have proof that youâve left the country. Youâll need a valid travel document to visit, such as a European Union ID card or passport.
Citizens of other countries
Norway also has agreements with several countries outside of the EU/EEA, allowing their citizens to travel to Norway without a visa. These countries include the United Kingdom, USA, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand and Japan, among others.
Even if you donât require a visa to travel to Norway, you need to be aware of some conditions for visiting. These include:
- you can stay in any of the countries in the Schengen area (including Norway) for a combined total of 90 days in any 180-day period
- your passport must be valid for at least three months after you leave Norway
- you must have means of traveling back to your country of residence
- you should not be planning to work
- you should have at least NOK 500Â for each day youâre staying in Norway.
This isnât an exhaustive list â be sure to check the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI) website for full details before you travel.

Travelers who need a visaÂ
If you want to travel to Norway as a tourist and youâre not on the visa-free list, youâll need to apply for a visitorâs visa. Citizens of countries including China, India and South Africa require a visa to travel to Norway.
The following general guidance applies to most countries. Check the specific requirements for your country, including current visa costs, at udi.no .
Applying for a visa
To apply for a visitorâs visa, youâll normally need to register your application online and then visit a Norwegian embassy, consulate, or Visa Application Center in person with all the required documents.Â
A visitorâs visa is valid for travel throughout the Schengen area â including Norway â for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. You should submit your visa application at least four weeks in advance, but you can apply up to six months before your trip.
If youâre traveling to several Schengen countries on the same trip, you should apply for a visa for your main destination. This is normally the country youâre staying in the longest or the one youâll be arriving at.
When you apply, youâll need to state how many entries you require on your visa. This is especially important if youâre going on a multi-country trip that involves traveling outside of the Schengen area (for example, to the UK or Russia), and then returning.
At the time of writing, the standard fee for a visitorâs visa is âŹ80 for adults and children over 12 years old.
Extending your visa
Schengen visas (and therefore visas for Norway) cannot be extended. Once youâve reached 90 days, you must leave the Schengen area or apply for a residence permit.Â
If youâve left the Schengen zone and want to re-enter, but youâve used up the number of entries on your original visa, youâll need to apply for a new Schengen visa.
Working holiday visa in Norway
Norway doesnât have a specific working holiday visa scheme, but seasonal workers in some industries, for example in agriculture, can be granted special permits.Â
That said, Visit Norway does promote traveling to the country for a â workation .â This means that you could work as a digital nomad, doing your regular job remotely from the fjords or deep within the Arctic Circle. Be sure to check the conditions of your own visa before traveling for this purpose.
Traveling to Svalbard
Although Svalbard is a Norwegian territory, it has different rules for travel than the rest of the country. In particular, Svalbard is not in the Schengen area, but youâll have to travel through the zone to reach it. If you plan to go to Svalbard, make sure that you have enough entries on your visa to cover your visit. For more information, visit sysselmesteren.no .

If not, you will have to apply for a visitors/tourist visa (Schengen visa). This Visa will allow you to travel not only to Norway but all of the countries within the Schengen area for up to 90 days.
There is one exemption. If you are a citizen of a country that requires you to have a visitors visa, however, you have permanent residency or a residency permit in a Schengen country or a country with which Norway has a visa agreement, you can still travel without applying for a Visa. Â
All citizens of Schengen area countries can travel Visa-free to Norway for up to 90 days.
 If you wish to stay longer, you have to provide a valid reason for your stay and register with the police. alternatively, you can leave Norway then re-enter for another stay of 90 days. Â
There arenât any restrictions on how long you must stay outside of Norway before re-entry, but you must be able to document that you left the country. Â
These rules apply for all Schengen area countries, which include:
Even though you may not be required to have a visa to enter Norway, there are a few requirements.Â
If asked, you should be able to provide documentation that shows your reason for entry, such as an invitation, and documentation that shows where you will be staying while you are in Norway. Â

If you reside in a country that is outside the Schengen area and does not have a visa agreement with Norway, you have to apply for a visitor/tourist visa.Â
Because Norway is a Schengen area country you have to apply for a Schengen visa. This is because once you are granted entry to Norway, your visa is valid for all Schengen countries.
Countries that require a visa to travel to Norway include:

South Africans lose visa-free entry to Ireland
![visit visa to uk from norway visit visa to uk from norway](https://www.timeslive.co.za/publication/custom/static/logos/logo.times-live.png)
South Africa and Botswana nationals are required to obtain a visa before travelling to Ireland, effective from Wednesday.
A transit visa will also be required if intending to transit through Ireland en route to another destination.
"This is a carefully considered decision which will bring Ireland into closer alignment with the Schengen area in respect of both countries, and into line with the UK in respect of South Africa," justice minister Helen McEntee said on Monday.
She said in recent years a significant number of international protection applications, which are referred to as refugee status in South Africa, have been received from nationals of Botswana and South Africa.
The Dublin visa office will establish a dedicated desk to process applications from South African passport holders. The department will also establish three visa applications centres in South Africa with visa service provider VFS Global.
Transitional arrangements will be put in place for nationals of Botswana and South Africa who have existing arrangements made before July 10 2024 to travel to Ireland until August 9. Those who have existing travel arrangements are advised to check irishimmigration.ie for further information.
Ireland is clamping down on illegal entry into the country.
More than 3,700 "doorstop" operations were carried out on flights that pose risks of irregular migration at Dublin airport in the first half of 2024, and more than 115 people were arrested for arriving without appropriate documentation in the same period.

Worldâs most powerful passports: SAâs âgreen mambaâ rises one spot
The government said its border management unit continues to provide training and 24-hour advice to airlines on how to identify and deal with immigration abuse. A review of carrier liability legislation has been completed and new increased levels of fines will soon be introduced.
Other nationalities who require visas for travel to Ireland include Afghanistan, Bahrain, Belarus, Egypt, India, Jamaica, Nigeria, China, Qatar, Rwanda, Thailand, Venezuela and Zimbabwe.
A year ago, South African passport holders had visa-free access to 106 countries. These include Sri Lanka, Thailand, Malaysia, Argentina, Israel, Seychelles, Peru and Qatar. A visa was required for 121 countries, including Morocco, Mexico and Malta.
Two years ago a South Africa passport allowed citizens visa-free entry to 105 countries in the world, ranking it in 55th place from a high of 35th place in 2008 and 2009.
The government was advised then by travel experts to do more to reduce passport fraud to improve the rating and ensure an effective, automated evisa system to improve the processing of applications.

If your child is approaching secondary school, you might be preparing to spend hundreds of pounds on their first smartphone.
But choosing a costly contract is just the first in a series of difficult decisions facing parents as their child gains online autonomy.
While phones bring huge benefits in terms of connectivity and independence, they also expose children to risks ranging from accidently running up bills to sexual exploitation and AI-enabled bullying.
Sky News spoke with experts in the field about what trends parents should be aware of, and what tools they can use to tackle them.
There are four categories of risks to children according Childnet, a UK-based charity for child safety online.
These are content , such as pornography or gambling, contact , like grooming or cyberbullying, commerce , where children have mistakenly racked up huge bills, and conduct , which includes what information a child shares online.
The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) has revealed "a really sharp rise in young people who are being sexually exploited and groomed over the internet" without leaving their home, said Kate Edwards, the charity's associate head of child safety online.
This refers to incidents where a child is directed to take part in their own abuse, which may be filmed or photographed and shared.
Ms Edwards said young people have also been self-reporting instances of sextortion, where they "have been tricked into sharing a sexual image of themselves and then given a ransom demand" under the threat of sharing the photograph.
The charity has received phone calls from children reporting generative AI being used to bully, groom or medically misdiagnose children, as well as calls raising concerns over pro-eating disorder or pro-suicide content.
"The age of onset for an eating disorder can be quite young... if it's around a similar age where someone might get their first phone, then it is important for parents to be aware of the risks," said Umairah Malik, clinical advice coordinator at the UK's leading eating disorder charity, Beat.
The risk of an eating disorder developing is highest for children aged 13 to 17 years, said the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence.
Video content shared on social media is particularly hard to regulate, with those that fixate on body image or what an influencer eats in a day causing disordered behaviours to develop among vulnerable viewers.
'We gave him a loaded gun'
Social media played a role in the murder of Amanda Stephens' son, Olly, aged 13, who was lured to a field near his Reading home and stabbed to death in 2021 following an online dispute.
Ms Stephens now believes the risks posed by smartphones are too great for children to own one.
"I look back to it, I felt almost proud as we gave Olly his first phone. Now I feel like we gave him a loaded gun," she said.
"He was exposed to horrendous violence, threats, bullying, under our roof."
During the trial of two 14-year-old boys and a 13-year-old girl, Ms Stephens said she learned there was little policing on social media of violent language or sharing images of knives.
"In the safety of your home, they are surrounded by a billion strangers."
She's not the only one in favour of a blanket ban - the House of Commons Education Committee has advised the government to consider legislating against mobile phones for under-16s.
As it stands, phone ownership is near universal among children by age 12, according to Ofcom.
But there are tools parents can use.
"There are many tools out there to help them. I know it can feel very scary when you hear about all those risks," said Ms Edwards.
"What is important to bring across is while there are all of those risks, that does not mean that every child that uses a smartphone is going to come across those risks and that there are only risks to using this technology. There are also many benefits."
What can parents do to increase safety?
Ms Edwards said parents should have open conversations with their children, working with them to decide on restrictions and breaking down barriers of authority between parent and child.
And whatever rules are in place, the most important thing is to "let your child know their safety comes before any rule".
A common issue raised by children via Childline is online harm or abuse while breaking a family rule â such as using a device at night. The children were therefore fearful of getting in trouble so did not speak up, she said.
Ms Edwards said parents can contact the mobile phone operator and let them know it is a child's phone, and they will put additional barriers in place including blocks on content or spending.
At home, internet service providers offer tools to set up limits on what can be accessed via the WiFi.
CEO of Childnet International Will Gardener pointed to Apple's Family Sharing account and Google's Family Link, which connect a child's phone with their parents, enabling some control over down-time, such as switching off certain apps within particular timeframes.
They can also be used to approve payments, ensure requests for app downloads and monitor usage.
Apps also have their own safety mechanisms, said Ms Edwards, including whether someone can contact or share things about your child, or whether they can game with other people.
Parents and children should also be aware of what support mechanisms are available.
The NSCC's safety hub has more information on how to keep children safe online, while their partnership with Vodaphone has produced a toolkit for thinking about your child's first phone.
Children can confidentially report sexual images or videos to Childline and the IWF's Report Remove , which will work to remove them from the internet.
Any adults concerned about a child's safety or wellbeing can contact the NSPCC Helpline at [email protected] or by calling 0808 800 5000. Children can contact Childline on 0800 1111 or childline.org.uk.
If you're worried about your own or someone else's health, you can contact Beat on 0808 801 0677 or beateatingdisorders.org.uk.
Anyone feeling emotionally distressed or suicidal can call Samaritans for help on 116 123 or email [email protected] in the UK.
The one piece of Money news we need to take with us from the week just gone concerns speculation over when an interest rate cut will come.
When the Bank of England's chief economist began his speech on Wednesday, some expected he would tee up a long-awaited August rate cut.
But instead, Huw Pill dampened expectations, saying the timing of a rate reduction was still an "open question" amid strong price pressures.
Services inflation and wage growth showed "uncomfortable strength", he said, prompting investors to rein in bets on a cut, dropping to a 50/50 chance from 62/48.
Mr Pill, a centrist on the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), voted with the majority of his colleagues last month to keep interest rates at a 16-year high of 5.25%.
His more hawkish colleague Catherine Mann has signalled she is unlikely to vote for a cut next month.
She said inflation dropping to 2% was merely "touch and go" and that it would likely rise above that rate for the rest of the year.
Ms Mann added that growth in wages and services prices were still inconsistent with the Bank's target.
When will a rate cut come?
Sticky inflation is causing the Bank to hesitate "despite evidence that a high interest rate environment has heightened monetary conditions and also caused growth conditions to be more unfavourable", said Jeff Ng, head of Asia macro strategy, SMBC.
He said that while he still expects a rate cut in the current quarter, odds for the first cut to come in the fourth quarter are rising.
Economic forecasters ANZ said the Bank will only have one more set of data when it meets in August, which is "unlikely to be sufficient for the MPC to be able to gain confidence on the path of inflation, and the MPC may lean in favour of waiting for more data."
It added the MPC will "have greater confidence to cut rates in September".
Of all the stories we've covered this week, none prompted more correspondence than publicans hitting out at a Co-op advert that urged people to watch the football at home (with Co-op pizzas) instead of the pub...
We have highlighted the struggles of pubs and hospitality extensively in this blog, but the bulk of your comments came out on the side of Co-op...
Pub prices are way over the top! When you are expected to pay ÂŁ12 for a small wine and a beer, aren't the pubs pricing themselves out of business? Bottos01
What is wrong with the Co-op advert? Pubs advertise to draw people into their establishments in order to sell them vastly overpriced alcohol, what is the difference? I can get four pint cans from the Co-op for the price of one pint in the pub. Come on publicans, do the maths. Confused
Buy 4 pints and a couple of pizzas in a pub. Then starve for a week because you've blown the grocery budget. Muppets. Mark clacton
No sympathy for the pubs. They've been pricing themselves out of the market for years. The cost of a pint in a pub is ridiculous. Perhaps they should man-up and learn to respond to a bit healthy competition! DaveZ
I'm sure the pubs are slightly annoyed, although many other businesses need to survive. Sky News provides so much emphasis on pubs and not other businesses trying to cope in the BIG squeeze. Fossy
Fossy will be pleased to know we have a long read coming up on the plight of pubs in the coming weeks.
Reader Richard Stubbs was among a minority batting for his local...
This IS disgraceful by the Co-op, they have been waging war on shoppers because of shoplifting, innocent shoppers stopped and searched constantly, yet staff will just stand watching whilst shoplifters fill huge bags. The pub has atmosphere! Richard Stubbs
We also had reaction from readers on water bills, which are set to rise less than some water firms wanted over the next five years - but still by 21%.
All firms sought hefty increases to bills between 2025-30, with Southern Water leading the way with a proposed rise of almost 73%.
The want customers to pay for an investment programme to stop raw sewage dumping, build new reservoirs and reduce leaks.
Water bills to rise 21% over the next five years. Why are the customers paying for the incompetence of the men in suits? They should be made to pay for everything that needs to be done. Once again it's the public that have to foot the bill. Absolutely disgraceful and pathetic. Colin
The proposed 21% increase in water bills is completely unacceptable due to years of neglect by water companies. I would find a maximum increase of 10% acceptable, but only if there are no pay rises, bonuses for bosses, directors, and managers, and no dividends paid to shareholders Kam
Finally, and on a more positive note, there was praise for Tesco's decision to close Express stores at 7.30pm this Sunday so staff can watch the Euro 2024 final.
Well done Tesco for shutting your doors on Sunday so your staff can see the match. At last you have seen sense as your staff are human after all. Jean Allcock
Tesco's announcement was followed by moves by Sainsbury's and Lidl...

The UK is set to lose the most millionaires of any country by 2028, a report has found.
Bucking a worldwide trend, the number of millionaires (in dollars) will fall 17% from 3.1 million people in 2023 to 2.5 million, according to Swiss bank UBS.
It joins the Netherlands as the only two countries of 56 analysed where the number of millionaires is forecast to decline - though the UK is starting with the third most millionaires to begin with, behind only the US and China.
Paul Donovan, chief economist of UBS Global Wealth Management, said the shift away from the UK partly reflected its millionaire tally was "disproportionately high".
He added: "You have obviously seen in the UK over the last few years, as you have seen in other countries, implications arising from sanctions against Russia."
The UK's decision to scrap non-dom status - which meant wealthy, often foreign residents did not pay tax on overseas income - had a "small effect".
"The non-indigenous millionaire population, the global population, which is constantly shifting, will be looking for low tax locations all of the time," he said.
This was "not a function of UK policies per se" but reflected the "pull factors" of other countries, such as Dubai and Singapore.
The UBS report forecast the total number of dollar millionaires in the United States would rise by 16% by 2028, in Germany by 14%, in France by 16%, in Japan by 28%, in Spain by 12% and in Italy by 9%.
The strongest growth in millionaires - of 47% - was expected to be in Taiwan, driven by the country's microchip industry.
Complaints about the banking sector have reached the highest level in at least a decade, an ombudsman has found.
A total of 80,137 cases were filed with the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) about banking and payment products in the latest financial year.
That compares with 61,995 in 2022/23.
Concerns about current accounts and credit cards and worries about frauds and scams were behind the increase, the service said.
Admin, customer services, affordability or irresponsible lending by financial firms were among the reasons customers complained.
Current accounts were the product people moaned about the most, with 30,635 gripes filed.
Consumers brought 24,402 credit card complaints, of which 13,584 were due to perceptions around unaffordable or irresponsible lending.
Fraud and scam cases generated 27,312 complaints.
Around half were about authorised push payment (APP) scams, where someone is tricked into sending money online to a fraudster posing as a genuine payee.
Across all financial products, the FOS upheld 37% of the complaints it resolved, which is slightly higher than the 35% recorded in 2022/23.
"The financial services sector takes complaints seriously," a UK Finance spokesperson said.
"Where things go wrong, firms will always look to put it right and provide good outcomes for customers."
The spokesperson pointed out that the financial services industry prevents more than ÂŁ1bn of fraud every year, and was "the only sector which reimburses victims."
A French budget hotel chain has revealed plans to open 100 properties in the UK.
As part of its ongoing expansion, B&B Hotels is set to open the properties by 2035.
The company first launched in the UK in February with a hotel at Heathrow Terminal 5, with basic double rooms starting at around ÂŁ73 a night.
Since then, it has taken over five sites in Birmingham, Ipswich, Inverness, Warrington and Derby.
The brand already operates nearly 800 sites across Europe, Brazil and the US.
Fabrice Collet, president and chief executive officer at B&B Hotels, said the move was an "important step" in the company's ambition to have 3,000 hotels in 10 years.
"Our successful growth model and commitment to value for our guests have made us a beloved brand across Europe, and weâre excited to bring that same experience to guests in the UK," he said.
England's success at the Euros might have lifted our spirits, but it's also given a "much needed boost" to the economy.
Fans of the Three Lions are expected to spend ÂŁ124.9m in hospitality venues this weekend as they flock to the pub to watch the team take on Spain, a spending report by VoucherCodes found.
On Sunday alone, 17.2m pints are expected to be poured, with drink spend totalling ÂŁ70.5m.
This is the highest amount at any stage during the competition and an 19% increase on Wednesday's semi-final spend of ÂŁ59.3m.
Food spend is set to hit ÂŁ54.3m.
For fans who couldn't secure a spot at the pub, a total of ÂŁ280.1m is expected to be spent across stores as shoppers prepare to cheer on England from home.
Food and drinks sales (ÂŁ202.5m) are set to make up the majority of retail spend as fans head to the supermarket, the website found.
The economic boost has been welcomed by the Night Time Industries Association, with its CEO saying the Euro final is a "golden opportunity".
Michael Kill said: "I cannot overstate the significance of England's success in the Euros for our night time economy and hospitality sector.
"Their win in the semi-finals provides us with another golden opportunity to host a massive night of football, bringing fans together across the UK.
"This event is more than just a match; it is a beacon of hope and a much-needed boost for venues, staff, and the entire community involved in nightlife and hospitality."
Airlines are putting on extra flights as tens of thousands of England football fans travel to Germany for the Euro 2024 final.
British Airways says it will operate two additional flights from Heathrow to Berlin on Sunday, where England's match against Spain takes place at 8pm.
This will boost the carrier's seat capacity for travel to the German capital by "nearly 30%", a spokesperson said.
Yesterday, the airline reported a 1,000% increase in searches for flights to Berlin, which peaked at 10.05pm - 11 minutes after England secured their place in the final by beating the Netherlands.
The first extra flight will depart Heathrow at 7.50am and arrive in Berlin at 10.40am.
But the Money team understands this flight has already sold out.
The second will leave London at 1.50pm and arrive in the German capital at 4.40pm.
A quick look on the British Airways website shows prices start at ÂŁ481.
To fly to Berlin at a similar time on the day after the final, tickets start at ÂŁ128.
Extra capacity has also been added to return flights on Monday 15 July to bring fans home.

South Africa and Botswana citizens will no longer be allowed visa-free travel to Ireland
Papers to be required for citizens of both countries as additional measure to address the sharp rise in international protection applicants in 2024.
Citizens of Botswana and South Africa will be required to obtain a visa to travel to Ireland from next week under arrangements announced by Minister for Justice Helen McEntee.
People who have travelled from either country to Ireland have not until now required visas to enter the State. Both have also been designated as safe countries of origin.
The move is being taken in light of what the Department of Justice has described as âa significant number of international protection applicationsâ being received from nationals of Botswana and South Africa.
Neither country featured in the top five nationalities of the more than 9,000 people who applied for international protection in the five months to the end of May. Nearly one in three (2,843) applications were made by citizens of Nigeria, followed by Jordan (718), Pakistan (677), Bangladesh (600) and Somalia (586). Less than 500 applications combined were made by people from South Africa and Botswana.

Ms McEntee said South Africa and Botswana were the only countries on the safe list that did not require its citizens to obtain visas before travelling to Ireland.
âThis is a carefully considered decision which will bring Ireland into closer alignment with the Schengen Area in respect of both of these countries, and into line with the UK in respect of South Africa,â she said. âIrish visa requirements are kept under ongoing review, having regard to the need to ensure that effective immigration controls are in place whilst also facilitating those who wish to travel to Ireland for the purposes of a visit, to work, to study, or to join family members.â
The Minister said the Dublin visa office would now establish a dedicated âSouth Africa deskâ to process applications from South African nationals. She said the Department of Foreign Affairs would also establish three visa application centres, located throughout South Africa, with visa service provider Global VFS.
The Government has introduced a raft of measures and restrictions following a sharp increase in the number of people seeking asylum on arrival into the State. By the end of May, the number of people who had applied for international protection was more than double the total who applied in the same five-month period last year.
Among the new measures is an accelerated processing period for those who are citizens of the country that has had the most asylum applications, irrespective of it being designated a safe country of origin. At present, that applies to Nigerian nationals.
Some 115 people have been arrested in the first half of this year for arriving without appropriate documentation and a significant number have been convicted. Document checks of people crossing the border from Northern Ireland have also been stepped up as a response to evidence of an increasing number of people using the land and sea route from Britain via Northern Ireland to enter the State.
