Visitor’s visa

Important information about sponsorship form (previous guarantee form)

The sponsorship form replaces the UDI's guarantee form for visits, from 1 st of February 2022.

Previously, the person who was to be the sponsor, had to present passports and documentation of income or funds to the police. The warranty form also had to be stamped by the police.

With the new sponsorship form, you do not have to go to the police. Read more about sponsorship form on the UDI's website.

If you are going to visit Norway, you can apply for a visitor visa (Schengen visa). You must show that you have enough money for your trip and stay in Norway. If you can not pay yourself, the person you visit must guarantee financially for you.

You will find information on how to apply for a visitor's visa on the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration's website.

How to apply for an extension of a visitor's visa

If anything happens requiring you to prolong your stay in Norway or the Schengen area beyond the expiry of your visitor's visa, you can apply to extend your visa.

Do you have a visitor's visa (Schengen visa)?

If you do, you can travel freely in the Schengen countries for as long as your Schengen visa is valid. You must apply for a new visa if you leave the Schengen area and your visa does not cover more entries. Apply at udi.no.
