Effective from recent policy changes, Norwegian passport holders are now required to obtain a visa for entry. While a visa on arrival is an option, applying for an e-Visa in advance is highly recommended to ensure a faster transition through immigration. You can view more about expected review timeframes to plan your trip accordingly.
The e-Visa typically allows for stays of up to 90 days within a calendar year for tourism and leisure. It is important to note that you must hold a passport valid for at least six months and have a confirmed return flight. The immigration officer at the port of entry holds the final authority on the duration of stay granted upon your arrival.

The request journey involves providing biographical data, travel itineraries, and contact information via a digital form. Once the fees are paid, the application is reviewed by the Ministry. It is essential to ensure that the data provided matches your Norwegian passport exactly. Errors in the passport number or name spelling are common reasons for delays.

Extensions may be possible at the Ministry of Home Affairs, provided you have not exceeded the 90-day limit.
