FAQ
Is Ringeriksbanen being built?
Not yet. As of autumn 2026 the new railway and E16 Skaret–Hønefoss are planned but not funded. The guide explains today’s options: bus 200 (about 1 h 14 min to Oslo) and Bergensbanen trains via Drammen.
Does it replace the old Hønefoss Housing Checklist?
Yes. This 2026–27 edition replaces it with a full move guide, including the housing checklist.
Is it only for EU/EEA citizens?
The paperwork chapter is written for EU/EEA citizens. Everything else applies to everyone moving to Ringerike.
