Visa for Norway from Cameroon: price, documents and processing time 2026

Yes. A Cameroonian passport does not allow entry to Norway without a visa, even for a short tourist stay. You must first obtain a visitor visa, issued by the Norwegian authorities after examining a file submitted in person at the embassy, consulate or application centre competent for Cameroon.

The file generally includes the form, recent passport photos, the passport, a flight reservation, proof of accommodation in Norway, evidence of funds and travel insurance covering medical costs. If you are invited, attach your host’s letter. The observed visa fee is 90 EUR; the detailed list is on the official Norwegian page.

The official page udi.no explains the procedure and the submission location for residents of Cameroon. In practice: fill in the application form, book an appointment, then attend with your passport and supporting documents. Check on that page which post receives applications, as it is not necessarily located in Cameroon.

• Your application goes to the state that is your main destination. If Norway is where you spend the longest, it handles the file, whatever the entry point.
• With no main destination, the competent state is the one you enter first.
• If Norway has no consulate in Cameroon, another Schengen state may act on its behalf under a representation arrangement, or the file goes to the post accredited for your country.

Then the application goes to the post accredited for Cameroon, often in a neighbouring capital, or to a state acting on its behalf. Confirm which post is competent with the official source before travelling to a third country to apply, a rejected file at the wrong counter costs the trip and the fee.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Cameroon but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

The observed processing time is 15 to 45 days after the file is submitted. Book your appointment early and wait for the decision before buying a non-refundable ticket. Once in Norway, the stay must not exceed 90 days per 180-day period, which is distinct from the validity shown on the visa.

Avoidable issues delay or sink many applications: an incomplete form, missing proof of funds, insurance with the wrong dates or a vague invitation letter. Be wary of intermediaries promising a guaranteed visa or a fast-tracked appointment for a fee. Only the Norwegian authorities decide on the application.
