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

Yes. A Myanmar passport does not allow visa-free entry to Norway; a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa is required. It permits stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period for tourism, visiting or business. If your trip covers several Schengen countries, Norway must be the main destination for it to issue the visa.

Prepare a valid passport (issued within the last 10 years, valid for at least 3 months beyond your intended Schengen departure), the application form, a recent photo, travel medical insurance of at least €30,000, proof of accommodation, a return ticket and evidence of funds. The visa fee is generally €90 for an adult (reduced rates for children), excluding the application centre's service charge.

The Myanmar applicant first completes the application through Norway's online portal, pays the fee, then books an appointment to submit documents and give biometrics. Because Norway does not have a mission in every country, it is often represented by a partner application centre (VFS Global/TLScontact) or by another Schengen state for the region; check the competent submission point for Myanmar on udi.no. Submission is in person.

• 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 Myanmar, 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 Myanmar, 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 Myanmar 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.

Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days, so apply well ahead, and no earlier than six months before departure. Book the appointment early, especially in peak season. Make sure your financial and accommodation evidence covers the whole stay, and buy the insurance before submitting.

Common pitfalls for Myanmar travellers: assuming Norway is outside Schengen (it is inside), underestimating the timeline, presenting insurance below €30,000, or applying to the wrong country when Norway is not the main destination. Check the document list and any health requirements with the official source before you travel.
