Checklist for Visa Applications:
Persons who are travelling with, or visiting a family member who is an EU/EEA national:
If you want someone to act on your behalf in connection with your application, you must authorize this person to do so. Please visit the UDI website for more information and the relevant form:Power of Attorney.
Applying with children? Please note that the Embassy will not be able to process the visa application if the child's photo in the passport is outdated or does not correspond with the recent photo enclosed.
Will someone in Norway sponsor your visit?
Sponsorship and invitation form if a sponsor (a private person or an inviting company) is covering your expenses to travel and stay in Norway can be found here: Sponsor for visitors - UDI.
Your sponsor can fill out a digital sponsorship and invitation form by using their electronic ID or use our paper form. We recommend that you bring a copy of the form with you when you travel to Norway/Schengen.
If you have a minimum of NOK 500 per day/person and can document this through e.g., a statement of account from your bank or a wage specification for the past six months, you do not need to use a sponsorship form. However, you may still use the form if you believe that will help your application.
