On the new Application Portal Norway either the applicant or the reference in Norway can register the application and book appointment ONLINE.
However, it will still be possible to hand in paper applications. But those who APPLY ONLINE will be given PRIORITY.
How to get started and what to do?
- Please register your online application and book appointment at the Application Portal Norway: https://selfservice.udi.no/
- Secondly, please refer to the Embassy webpage Visa requirements for detailed information regarding which supporting documents to bring. You may also check on the Directorate of Immigration’s webpage www.udi.no – and if you do so, choose language! Please note that all applicants, irrespective of online registrations and booked appointments, MUST PROVIDE FULL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS for their applications. Applicants who fail to do so, will be asked to book a NEW appointment.
- After you have submitted the online application, booked your appointment and provided all supporting documents, we will be pleased to welcome you to the Embassy to submit the documents, and provide biometric data.
We would also like to bring your attention to the fact that all the above mentioned application types are included in our new electronic case processing system. The processing time is expected to be shorter for electronic cases.
