Asking for asylum in Norway, after entering another EU country: Also, if your plan is to come to Norway after entering the EU Schengen Area and having your passport stamped, please keep in mind that your entry could be subject to the Dublin Convention and therefore demanded to ask for asylum in your first point of entry in the EU.
