Visiting Norway

Who can visit Norway without a Visa?

Not everyone needs a visa for their visit to Norway: Norway is member of the Schengen Area, and has many travel visa exemption agreements with other countries.

Norway is not a member of the EU, but became a signatory of the Schengen Agreement in 2001. There are also many exceptions for nationals of a country that Norway has a visa exemption agreement with. If you do not fall under any of these categories, you will need a visa to travel to Norway. Contact the Norwegian embassy in your home country to find out more.
