NATO UNCLASSIFIED

2.1.1. Creation of user account. Each participant has to create own profile

using the link “Create new account”

(https://events.jwc.nato.int/user/register). After providing essential

personal data, the system generates a Request for Account. The data

is validated by JWC SPT RLS and after approval special instructions

are generated to participants on how to sign up for the particular event.

For the creation of the account, use your work-related unclassified e-

mail (e.g. [email protected]). You can use this account for all

future events hosted in the JWC.

2.1.2. Registration (Sign up) for the event. After validation of the user

account, participant can log on to the individual account using personal

Login and Password. On the front page choose the event called

“NATO NMWWG – Mtg 2021” and then click button: “Click here to

register”. Fill out all required data as requested. For transportation

and accommodation, please choose the accurate option. After

successfully completing registration (sign up), WAFER sends a

2.2. Note that flight details (flight number and arrival/departure time) can be updated in WAFER at any time after the registration is completed, but NLT 3 working days prior to arrival.

2.3. Please consider providing your private email details if this works better for you while travelling.

2.4. In case of problems with registration or access to the WAFER, please contact JWC RLS by email (NS and NU): [email protected].

3. Norwegian travel restrictions due to COVID-19

3.1. Norway only accepts participants for the event who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Paragraph 3.1.2. contains the four official Norwegian legal definitions of who is “fully vaccinated”. Paragraph 3.2.1. provides the current electronic certificates accepted by the Norwegian authorities. If you have any questions about the individual status or the acceptability of your own certificate, please contact the JWC RLS branch for clarification.

3.2. The Norwegian Navy is currently working on a solution for those who are fully vaccinated but cannot prove it with any of the certificates listed in section 3.2.1. (e.g. holder of a US vaccination card). The result will be published to those affected as soon as it becomes available. This should not hinder the registration in WAFER, as this is the prerequisite for returning specific information on the entry requirements to the participants concerned.

3.2.1. People are fully vaccinated per Norwegian definition if they belong to one of the following group:

5. Transportation

The Norwegian Navy will arrange daily transportation to and from JWC from a designated bus stop in Stavanger downtown, in the vicinity of hotel Victoria.

As parking lots are limited at the JWC, we recommend those traveling by car (private, duty or rental cars) to take the provided bus transportation from downtown to the facilities during the main event time. For arrival and departure it will be accepted to use the parking lot in front of the main gate, however, the availability of space cannot be guaranteed.

5.1. Day of Arrival

A Military transport from the airport to the JWC for in-processing is currently not planned, but we encourage all participants to provide accurate and reliable information through the WAFER about arrival date and time!

As Military transport is not currently planned all participants are requested to prepare for an alternative transportation plan utilizing Taxis or the public transportation system available (payable online/ by app or at a ticket vending machine, credit card only; current no onboard ticket sales).
