Visitor’s visa and residence permit

A visitor's visa allows you to stay in Norway or other Schengen countries for up to 90 days over a period of 180 days. A residence permit gives you the opportunity to work in Norway and to stay for more than 90 days.

All applications for a visitor's visa or residence permit must be submitted through VFS Global in Jakarta. You need to book an appointment before you are allowed to submit your application.

Family members of EU/EEA nationals

If you are a close family member of an EU/EEA citizen residing in Norway, or a Norwegian citizen who is living in another EU/EEA country on a permanent basis and you are going to travel together with, or visit, this person, you will normally be given a visa. EU/EEA family members can apply directly at the Embassy in Bangkok and can book an appointment by email.

• spouse/partner/cohabitant
• child who is under the age of 21 or supported financially by the parent
• parent who is supported financially by their child
