Guide approval portal opens Monday at the earliest

The portal for guide approval applications for experienced guides will open no earlier than Monday 16 November, the Governor of Svalbard (Sysselmesteren) said.

The opening has been postponed because of issues involving Microsoft on Friday. The Governor hopes the portal can open on Monday 16 November.

The Governor apologised for the inconvenience and said the delay is due to circumstances beyond its control.
