The downward trend in Portuguese immigration to Norway continued in 2025. However, following the declines of 9.6% recorded in both 2023 and 2024, the decrease observed in the latter year was less pronounced (-1.7%). This decrease is accompanied by a drop in the total number of immigrants entering Norway (-18.4%). The lowest value in the time series analysed (2001-2025) was in 2003, when only 55 Portuguese entered Norwegian territory, and the highest in 2013, when 815 Portuguese entered the country. Portuguese emigration to Norway is a recent phenomenon and the number of Portuguese entering Norway still represents a very small fraction of immigration to the country (1.3%).
