Visa for Norway

Visitors visa for Norway only

For example, if you are denied a Schengen-wide visitor visa, you can apply for another visitor visa that only applies to Norway. However, this visa is only available in certain cases, such as humanitarian visas.

Visa with Limited Territorial Validity (VLTV)

If you have travel documents which do not allow entry into some Schengen areas but allow entry into others, a VLTV may be issued to you. However, it will be valid only in the Schengen areas covered by your travel document.

Emergency Visa

Emergency Visas: If you are in need of a visa but arrive at the Norwegian border without one, an emergency visa may be issued to you. However, emergency visas are only issued in very exceptional and very rare cases. In general, if you arrive without a visa at the Norwegian border, you will only be asked to leave the country right away. If you require a visa but arrive without one, contact the Norwegian police immediately at the border to request an emergency visa.

Airport transit visas

In case you are a national of a country that is not a Schengen member state, you should apply for an airport transit visa that entitles you to stop over in a Norwegian airport. An airport transit visa gives you the opportunity to spend time in a Norwegian airport transit area but does not give you the opportunity you to enter Norway.

These permits are issued once per year during the months of May and September, and you cannot apply again during the same period. You must apply at least 2 months prior to your departure from your home country, and you must provide information about all participants and details about your boat in your application.
