Norway is not an EU member but it is part of the Schengen area and issues type C Schengen visas. Documents are accepted by the VFS Global centre in Baku.

The consular fee is 35 euros and the visa centre’s service charge is paid separately. As Norway is an expensive country, documents proving your financial means are checked closely.

Oslo, Bergen, the fjords and the Tromsø northern lights route are the main destinations. Cruise and driving routes depend heavily on the season. Viza.az prepares the financial documents carefully and fits the fjord route to the season.

Visa to Norway: frequently asked questions

Norway is a member of the Schengen area and issues Schengen C visas. Not being in the EU has no effect on the visa process.

In Baku, Norwegian applications are accepted by the VFS Global visa centre. The documents are handed in and the biometrics taken there.

The consular fee is 35 euros and the VFS Global centre’s charge is 21 euros. Norway’s high price level has no bearing on these figures. The Viza.az service is 95 AZN.

Norway is among the most expensive countries in Europe and the daily spending calculation must reflect that. The bank statement should show regular income and consistent movement.

The tour operator’s programme, a cruise or ferry booking and accommodation confirmations. If the route covers several cities, the dates must follow one another without gaps.

From September to March, especially towards Tromsø. In this period hotel and tour prices rise and bookings are made months ahead.

An international driving permit and a hire booking. Bear in mind that some mountain roads close in the winter months — the route must be realistic.

We bring the financial documents into line with the requirements, plan the route around the season and arrange the VFS Global appointment.
