Schengen information

09.03.2004 ::

Due to increased "visa shopping", the Norwegian Embassy has recently found it necessary to introduce much stricter rules with regards to documents/documentation required both before and after a visa has been granted.

Applicants who fail to produce the required documents/documentation after a visa has been granted, will be refused a visa. 

Norway's Schengen-partners will be informed of any visa rejections.

Please note that visa applications received by post will not be given priority. 

All visas must be collected at the Embassy.

If you would like to apply for a visa to Norway, you may obtain a visa application form by clicking here.

General information regarding the Schengen Agreement
(please note that this visa information only applies for short-term visas up to 3 months)

Norway is part of the Schengen co-operation. This will have an impact on applications for visas. Generally, a visa for one of the countries in the Schengen area will be valid for a stay in all the other Schengen countries during the period for which the visa is valid. Over a period of six months, you are not permitted to spend more than a total of three months in the Schengen area.

Schengen visas are issued by: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Sweden.

If you are not sure whether you require a visa to visit a particular Schengen country, please call the Schengen information line of the Embassy of that particular Schengen country or click here. If you need further information regarding a visa for Norway, please call the Embassy.

The issue of Schengen visas is discretionary and depends on examination of each individual case, including purpose of visit and intention to return. If you intend to visit one of the Schengen countries for business, as a tourist or for personal/private visit, you must first obtain a Schengen visa. This enables you to visit any and move freely within all of the above mentioned countries during one trip within the validity of the visa.

Where to apply for a Schengen Visa

If you are not a resident in the UK, you should apply for a Schengen visa to the Embassy or Consulate in your country of residence.

If you want to visit one Schengen country, apply for visa to the Embassy or Consulate of that country. If you want to visit several Schengen countries, apply to the Embassy or Consulate of the country of your main destination. If you intend to visit several Schengen countries but do not have a main destination, you should apply to the Embassy or Consulate of the Schengen country of your first port of entry.

Holders of British (brown) travel document (certificate of identity)

Visa applicants holding British Certificate of Identity must - upon lodging an application - be able to produce a letter from British Home Office confirming his/her status in the United Kingdom. The "Home Office-letter" is an additional requirement to the normal requirements stated further on in this page.
