If you are two (2) or more people travelling as tourists/ families /business partners to Norway, it is highly recommended that you apply as a group. Read more about how to apply as a group on the Embassy homepage.
Who can register a group?
The group members must:
- Share the same itinerary
- Submit their applications at the same VFS center
How to register as a group?
You can register applications for 2 to 16 people at a time on the Application Portal Norway under “Visa group”.
If your group contains more than 16 persons, please give each group registration a separate name, or mark it with “NAME no 1”, “NAME no 2”.
Remember to bring all documents mentioned in the checklists for all applicants in the group. Checklists can be found at the Embassy home page, please see the section 2 “Gather the necessary information” and choose the correct purpose of travel.
You will save time by paying the visa fee for the whole group at once.
According to VIS/Schengen requirements, all first time travelers to Schengen (after November 2nd 2015) have to meet personally to provide fingerprints and photo. (More information on VIS/biometric requirements) Therefore, please make sure that the whole group can go to the same VFS center in order to submit their documents and provide their fingerprints the same day. If different locations, register the groups according to where they will submit the applications.
