The Embassy warns about organized visa fraud

The Norwegian Embassy in Ankara uncovered several cases of organized visa fraud in 2024. Several applicants from different countries were scammed into paying thousands of dollars for what they were told was a work permit and a well-paid job in the fishing industry in Norway.

The Embassy strongly recommends that you apply through official channels, that you have verified that the job offer is genuine, and that you do not let any agent apply on your behalf.

All applications are lodged at the UDI portal, see udi.no, and the fee for the application is paid in the portal.  We do not recommend that you pay agents to do this for you.
