Norway Tourist Visa (Schengen Tourist Visa)
The Norway Tourist Visa is a Schengen short-stay visa (Type C) that allows travellers to visit Norway for sightseeing, holidays, or leisure. Although Norway is not an EU member state, it is a full member of the Schengen Area, so the visa permits a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the entire Schengen Area, not just Norway. Applications are processed by the Norwegian embassy, consulate, or an authorised visa application centre, with a final decision made in line with guidelines from the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. As with every Norway Visa category, the final decision on approval rests solely with the Norwegian embassy or consulate.
Eligibility
- You intend to visit Norway purely for tourism, sightseeing, or leisure.
- Your stay will not exceed 90 days within a 180-day period.
- Norway is your main destination, or your first point of entry if travelling to multiple Schengen countries.
- You can demonstrate sufficient financial means, confirmed accommodation, and an intention to return to your home country.
- Your passport was issued within the last 10 years and remains valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen Area.
Government Visa Fees
Under the official 2026 fee schedule (Ley Federal de Derechos), applied by Mexican consulates worldwide:
| Fee Type | Amount |
| Visa processing fee (Visitante sin permiso para actividades remuneradas, transit purpose) | USD 56, or the equivalent in local currency (2026 rate) |
| Fee waiver | Nationals of countries with a bilateral Fee Waiver Agreement or Unilateral Declaration of Gratuity with Mexico are exempt |
| INR Equivalent | Information may vary depending on the visa category and individual circumstances |
An additional service fee may apply if the application is submitted through an external visa application centre. All fees are non-refundable, whether the visa is approved, refused, or the application withdrawn.
Processing Time
Standard Schengen visa applications, including tourist visas, are generally decided within 15 calendar days of a complete submission, though this can extend to 30, or in exceptional cases up to 60 days, if further examination is required. Applications can be submitted up to six months before travel, and applicants are advised to book an appointment well in advance, particularly during peak travel seasons such as summer or the Northern Lights viewing season.
