Discover visa requirements for your trip
Mongolian citizens need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to visit Norway for tourism. The standard adult fee is €90.
Norway is part of the Schengen area, and Mongolia is not visa-exempt, so Mongolian travellers must apply for a Schengen visa before departure. The application is lodged with the Norwegian mission responsible for Mongolia or its external service provider. Travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000 is mandatory.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Mongolian nationals do not have visa-free entry to the Schengen area. For a tourist stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period, the required visa is the Schengen short-stay (Type C). Norway must be your main destination (or first point of entry) for it to be the country that handles your application.
How and where to apply
Apply at the Norwegian embassy or consulate responsible for Mongolia, or at its external partner (VFS Global, BLS or TLScontact depending on the country). Book an appointment, complete the Schengen application form, and attend in person for biometric enrolment. Where Norway has no directly accessible mission, another Schengen state may represent it: confirm the official channel with the UDI.
Documents and fees
The standard fee is €90 for an adult (reduced for children aged 6–12, free below that). Prepare a valid passport, a recent photo, proof of accommodation and itinerary, evidence of sufficient funds, and travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000 valid across the whole Schengen area.
Processing and tips
Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days, so apply well in advance but no earlier than six months before travel. A consistent file — flight dates, bookings and itinerary that match — speeds up the review. Keep both originals and copies of every supporting document.
Common mistakes
Refusals often come from insufficient insurance (below €30,000), weak proof of funds, or lodging the application with the wrong Schengen country when Norway is not the main destination. Do not book non-refundable tickets before the visa is granted, and respect the 90-in-180-days rule.
