Documents, Fees and Facilitation

You are required to determine which category visa or residence permit you need, and check whether you’re eligible to apply for it. You will also need to know the documents that you will have to submit along with your application, how long the application might take and fees you will have to pay.  

Each application must comply with the guidelines applicable to your visa or residence permit category. If your documents are not in English, you may need to get notarized translations prepared before applying.

On the website you will find guidelines about the application process and how to register your application online. You may also access the online Application Portal directly here. Your sponsor in Norway can also register the application and book appointment online on your behalf. 

Please note that all applicants are required to provide an online payment receipt confirming online registration and payment of the application fee in the Application Portal when submitting an application at a Norwegian Visa Application Centre. Online payments in the Application Portal can be made by using a credit/debit card (MasterCard or Visa).

Applications for visitor’s visas and residence permits for Norway are handled by the Royal Norwegian Embassy. To submit your application, please go to VFS Global Application Centre.
