Do I need a visa for Norway from Belarus?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Belarusian citizens need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa for a tourist trip to Norway. The fee is typically €90 and processing takes 15 to 45 days.
Norway is part of the Schengen area, so a Belarusian national must obtain a uniform Type C visa before departure. This visa allows a tourist stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. The application must target Norway when it is the main destination or the first point of entry into Schengen.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Belarus is not Schengen visa-exempt; a short-stay (Type C) visa is required to visit Norway. Apply through Norway if it is your main destination (longest stay) or, failing that, your first country of entry into the Schengen area.
How and where to apply
The Belarusian traveller first completes the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI) portal, then attends the Norwegian consulate or its authorised outsourcing partner (VFS Global, BLS or TLScontact) in the country of residence. The appointment, biometrics and document submission take place in person.
Documents and fees
Prepare a valid passport, the application form, a recent photo, accommodation and return-flight bookings, proof of sufficient funds and travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000. The visa fee is generally €90 for an adult; confirm the exact amount with the UDI.
Processing and tips
Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days; apply at the earliest six months before travel and at least 15 days ahead. A consistent file (dates, accommodation, funds) and compliant insurance reduce the risk of refusal. Do not book non-refundable tickets before the visa is issued.
Common mistakes
A frequent error is applying to the wrong Schengen state — it must be Norway if that is your main destination. Other pitfalls: insurance below €30,000, insufficient funds, a passport that is too old, or overstaying the 90-day allowance. Check each requirement on the UDI website before the appointment.
