Overnight in OSL between SFO and LYR -- can I stay on the same side of security?

You will not need to go through security again, but you will have to go through passport control. Since Svalbard is governed under the Svalbard Treaty, flights are from the international terminal, and since you're coming from FRA, you will have already gone through immigration to get into the Schengen area. This is not an issue though, as there are plenty of good places to sleep in the domestic section of OSL. Passport control opens at around 5:30am.

There are a few potential exceptions to the above:

  • If you're coming in from outside the Schengen area, you will likely be able to stay in the international terminal
  • If you have checked luggage, you will need to fully exit the secure area and go back through security again
  • Some flights to Svalbard go through Tromso; for these, you will typically go through passport control on your way out in Tromso, and thus not need to in OSL (ie, you leave from the domestic terminal)
