Ugelvik received a call up for the Philippines in the 2020 AFF Championship but eventually did not take part in the tournament due to injury.

In May 2024, Ugelvik was included in the Philippines 28-man squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches against Vietnam and Indonesia. He made his debut against the former on 6 June 2024 at the Mỹ Đình National Stadium. He played the full game as Vietnam won 3–2. During their last match in the Asian qualifiers, where they played against Indonesia, Ugelvik was rushed to the hospital after colliding with Indonesia's goalkeeper Ernando Ari and falling face first. Philippines Head Coach Tom Saintfiet had hoped that the referee would make a call on what happened. "The goalkeeper, he touched the player (Ugelvik)..." said Coach Saintfiet. "I think the referee can whistle a penalty for that with five minutes in normal time to go. The referee didn't whistle. I can't change the referee's mind. I understand.... But these were moments when we could have come back in the game."
