Visitor's visa

A visitor's visa allows you to stay in Norway or other countries in the Schengen area for up to 90 days over a period of 180 days.

Citizens of Vanuatu travelling on a Vanuatu passport, need a visitor's visa.

If you plan to visit more than one Schengen country in the course of one trip, or if you plan several separate trips within a period of two months, you must submit your application to the embassy or consulate of the country that is your main destination based on the length of your stay, or the purpose of stay.

If you plan to visit several Schengen countries and the main destination cannot be determined, you must submit your application to the embassy or consulate of the country that is your first point of entry to the Schengen area.

The Norwegian authorities have no local official representation for immigration matters in Vanuatu. All applications must instead be lodged at the Norwegian embassy in Canberra. Due to the need to cross international borders to lodge your application, we recommend that you contact the embassy before making an appointment to enable us to find the most suitable options for lodging your application.

Please note that as of the 15 June 2023, the Norwegian Embassy in Canberra will no longer be the responsible mission for applications for Schengen visitor’s visa or residence permit to Norway from applicants applying in Vanuatu. Instead, applications will be handeled and sent to the Norwegian Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand, which is the regional hub for immigration cases.
