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.
Citizens of Singapore do not need a visa to visit Norway. However, it is a requirement for entry to Norway that your passport is valid for at least three months after the intended date of departure from the Schengen Area.
