Do I need a visa for Norway from Sudan?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Sudanese nationals need a short-stay Schengen visa (type C) before travelling to Norway for tourism of up to 90 days.
Sudan is subject to a visa requirement for the Schengen area, to which Norway is associated even though it is not an EU member. A Sudanese traveller hoping to see the fjords, Oslo or the northern lights must prepare a Schengen visa application before departure. The application falls to the Norwegian authorities whenever Norway is the main destination.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. With a Sudanese passport, a visa is required to enter the Schengen area. For a tourist stay of up to 90 days within 180 days you need a uniform Schengen visa (type C). It allows travel throughout the Schengen area, but the application is lodged with your main-destination country — Norway in this case.
How and where to apply
The Norwegian process usually starts with an online registration on the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI) portal, followed by an appointment at the competent mission or its visa provider (VFS Global). You must attend in person to give biometric data. Given the situation in Sudan, check in advance which mission handles applications from Sudanese residents.
Documents and fees
The file includes the form completed through the portal, a passport valid at least three months beyond your return date, two compliant photos, flight bookings, proof of accommodation, financial evidence, and travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000. The fee is generally €90 for an adult, excluding service charges. Confirm the amount and payment method on the official UDI site.
Processing and tips
Processing normally takes 15 to 45 days but can run longer depending on the mission and the season. Plan well ahead and do not commit to non-refundable costs before a decision. A complete, consistent file with evidence of ties to your country of residence eases the review.
Common mistakes
Refusals often stem from insufficient insurance, funds judged too low, or an incomplete file. Be sure to apply to the correct country if Norway is not your main destination, and to translate the required documents. Finally, check any health requirements, including yellow fever, for your routing.
