DNA request
In some countries, it is difficult to obtain identity documents like birth certificates and other documents, that are accepted by Norwegian Authorities. If you apply for a visa or residence permit, you may be asked to give a DNA sample. If needed we will ask you to visit the embassy to take a sample.
Syrian applicants
The Embassy in Ankara will contact any applicant via email, to set up an appointment for DNA testing. All testing will happen at the Embassy in Ankara.
Some Syrians needs to obtain a permit from Turkish Authorities to travel to our Embassy. If needed, the Embassy can issue a letter to confirm appointment.
Afghan applicants
Citizens of Afghanistan should apply from VFS Islamabad, and our Embassy in Abu Dhabi. We are aware that it can be difficult for Afghan nationals to travel to Pakistan. Afghan citizens can therefore also apply from VFS Tehran, and our Embassy in Ankara.
DNA testing will be done at our Embassy in Tehran. The Embassy in Tehran will contact any applicant to set up an appointment for DNA testing.
Interview requests
In cases there is a need for an interview. To read more about who is summoned for an interview, please see UDIs website. An interview can take from 2-6 hours, depending on the complexity of the case. Interviews are normally done via Teams, and if an interview is requested in your case, you will have to meet at VFS where you applied from. The Embassy will contact you via email you to set up an appointment for an interview.
