When the sponsor is a company/organisation
In order to act as a financial sponsor for a company, you will need to fill out a sponsorship form as a representative of the company/organisation. If you are going to sponsor more than one person, you must send in a separate form for each person visiting you.
Requirements for sponsors in companies/organisations
The company/organisation must:
- be registered in Norway.
- be in operation.
How to sponsor a visa applicant
- The company/organisation must specify a representative in Altinn. You will find instructions under the heading How to gain access as a sponsor acting on behalf of a company/organisation.
- The representative of the company/organisation must fill out an electronic sponsorship form.
As an alternative, the representative may use our paper-based option, Sponsorship form (pdf, 988 kB). Please note, you should expect it to take a bit longer for us to process.
- The company/organisation must stamp the sponsorship form using its official stamp and send the completed form to the person being sponsored as a visitor. The representative must sign the form by hand. The form can be sent to the person visiting by email or post.
- The person applying for a visa in order to visit must hand in the sponsorship form, together with the other application documents, to the foreign service mission or application centre.
- If the applicant is granted a visa, they must bring the sponsorship form with them when entering Norway.
Please note: The sponsorship form can only be used for 1 entry into the Schengen area. If the applicant is issued a visa for multiple entries, the sponsor will have to fill out a separate sponsorship form for each visit.
