Norway Business Visa (Schengen Business Visa)
The Norway Business Visa is a Schengen short-stay visa (Type C) issued to professionals travelling to Norway for meetings, negotiations, conferences, or trade fairs. As Norway is a full Schengen member, this visa permits a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the Schengen Area. This visa does not authorise paid employment in Norway — it is intended strictly for short-term professional engagements. Applicants typically need documentation from both their employer and their hosting company or organisation in Norway confirming the business purpose of the trip. As with every Norway Visa category, the final decision on approval rests solely with the Norwegian embassy or consulate.
Eligibility
- You may apply for a Norway Business Visa if:
- You are travelling to Norway for professional purposes such as meetings, negotiations, conferences, or trade fairs.
- You are not seeking employment or paid work in Norway.
- Your stay does not exceed 90 days within a 180-day period.
- You can provide an invitation or supporting letter from the hosting company or organisation in Norway, along with a letter from your own employer confirming the purpose of travel.
- You have sufficient, verifiable financial means to support your stay.
Government Visa Fees

| Adults (Schengen Short-Stay Visa) | €80 (approx. NOK 900) |

Processing Time
Standard Schengen business visa applications are generally decided within 15 calendar days of a complete submission, though this may extend to 30, or in exceptional cases up to 60 days, if further examination is required. Since business trips are often tied to fixed meeting or event dates, applicants are advised to apply as early as possible — up to six months before travel — to allow time for any additional document requests.
