Schengen tourist & business visa

Norway issues the uniform Schengen short-stay (type C) visa for tourism, business and visits to family or friends, valid for up to 90 days in any 180-day period in all Schengen countries. You apply to Norway when it is your main or only destination, normally in your country of legal residence, using UDI's online application portal. The core rules (fee, insurance, passport and timing) are set by the EU Visa Code and are the same in every Schengen state; Norway sets its own application channels, and gives a reference amount of NOK 500 per day for means of subsistence in embassy guidance. Norway is not in the EU but applies the Schengen visa rules as an associated Schengen country.
