Requirements for a visa

How your application is considered

  • When we process your application, we consider how probable it is that you will return to your home country or the country you live in when the visit is over. We consider the situation in your country and your own situation.
  • We will focus on whether you have anything that ties you to your home country, for example work, property, a spouse or family members who you are supporting.
  • If we believe that it is unlikely that you will return, your application will normally be rejected. 

Your possibility of getting a visa

  • If you plan to travel to Norway to attend a cultural event or visit an organisation, you will normally be granted a visa.
  • If you plan to attend an important event or visit a well-known organisation, you have a better chance of being granted a visa.
