Visa processing time:

The Norwegian tourist visa applications will be transferred to the Norwegian Embassy for review within 15 days after receiving the application. The approval time can be extended (up to 30 days) if the application requires additional documents or confirm the information as required.

Note :

– The dossier should be notarized into English or Norwegian, printed on A4 size paper, on one side and not stapled or sandwiched together.
– VFS Visa Application Center will receive your application within 90 days before your intended departure date. Therefore, if you apply earlier, you will not be accepted. However, you should apply in the above time as soon as possible because the application / review process may face many problems arising from extending the visa application period.
– It is necessary to strictly comply with security regulations when submitting a direct application.
