Do I need a visa for Norway from Myanmar?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Nationals of Myanmar need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to visit Norway. It must be obtained before travel — Norway applies Schengen rules even though it is not an EU member.
A traveller from Myanmar wishing to visit Norway for tourism, family or business, for up to 90 days in a 180-day period, must apply for a visitor visa. Norway is part of the Schengen area: the visa should be requested from its mission or provider, with Norway as your main destination.
Do you need a visa?
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.
How and where to apply
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.
Documents and fees
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.
Processing and tips
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 mistakes
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.
