The Norway Tourist Visa (Schengen Type C) lets Indian passport holders visit Norway and the wider Schengen area for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Applications are filed online via the UDI Application Portal (selvbetjening.udi.no); biometrics and document submission happen at VFS Global on behalf of the Royal Norwegian Embassy, New Delhi.
What it costs
Paid directly to Norway / VFS — these are not our service fee, and we never mark them up.
Figures per VFS Global, last verified 12 May 2026. Fees change without notice — the official page is final.
Embassy fees are set in EUR by UDI — the INR charged at VFS varies with the daily exchange rate. VFS service and courier fees are fixed in INR. Family members of EU/EEA nationals, pupils/students/teachers on educational trips, and researchers are exempt from the embassy fee (the fee must be paid up front in the UDI portal and refunded at appointment). All fees are non-refundable regardless of outcome.
Flights · Hotels · Insurance · Itinerary
Norway applies the Schengen rules, so travel insurance is not a nice-to-have — it is a legal condition of the visa.
2 of 4 are compulsory for Norway
Where people slip: Flying into one city and out of another with nothing showing how you travel between them. Officers read the whole route, and an unexplained gap reads as a plan that does not hold together.
Book for ₹708 (+₹472 per family member)Where people slip: Free-cancellation bookings are accepted, but if the entire file is free-cancellation the officer sees a trip nobody has committed to. Some of it should be real spend.
Confirmed hotel booking, ₹590 per hotel: message us firstWhere people slip: Buying cover for the adults and forgetting the children. Every traveller needs their own EUR 30,000, infants included — a real refusal we have seen on a family of four.
What a Schengen policy must showWhere people slip: Spending more nights in another Schengen country than in Norway. That gets a file rejected before it is even assessed.
The letter your itinerary attaches toWe can arrange the flight reservation, the hotel and the itinerary for your Norway file — each sold separately.
We are a B2B travel agency as well as a visa consultancy, working with partners including Riya Travel — so the flight reservation and the confirmed hotel booking both come from us, and you deal with one team. Every booking is a real one under your own name. We do not sell travel insurance: buy the policy directly from an insurer.
None of them is part of our visa fee: each is bought on its own, at the price below, with or without our visa service.
Flight reservation ₹708 (+₹472 per extra family member) · Confirmed hotel booking ₹590 per hotel · Travel itinerary ₹1,499. GST included.
Delivery. Usually within 30 minutes during office hours, Mon–Sat 10:00–18:00 IST. Confirmed hotel bookings are not bought online: message us first on WhatsApp or email info@sureshotvisa.com with the city, dates and travellers.

Answer 10 quick questions to see your likelihood of approval. This is not a guarantee — final decision is always with the Embassy — but it flags common weak spots so you can address them before applying.
What's the primary purpose of your trip?
How long do you plan to stay?
Have you previously visited any Schengen country?
Have you ever been refused a Schengen (or any country's) visa?
Past refusals must be disclosed — they show up in VIS database across Schengen countries.
Do you have confirmed travel bookings?
Reservations are enough; a paid ticket is not required.
What's your current employment status?
What's your typical 3-month bank balance?
Schengen needs ~₹700/day covered. For a 10-day trip, minimum ₹70,000 stable balance.
How many years of Income Tax Returns (ITR) can you show?
What are your strongest ties to India (return-intent)?
Embassies want evidence you'll come back — not overstay.
Who are you travelling with?
Indicative only — final decision is always with the Embassy.
Frequently asked
Yes. A Norway Schengen visa lets you travel to all 29 Schengen countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, etc.) for the validity and stay allowance printed on the sticker.
Up to 6 months before travel; minimum 15 days. The sweet spot is 3–4 weeks before departure — enough buffer for 15–30 day processing, not so early that bookings expire.
No — most applicants don't face an interview. However, the Royal Norwegian Embassy may call you in if your application raises questions (financial profile, travel history, purpose). VFS notifies you if needed.
Absolutely not. A tourist visa does NOT authorise paid employment in Norway. Working on a tourist visa can result in deportation and a multi-year Schengen ban. For work, apply for a Residence Permit via UDI directly.
No. Svalbard and Jan Mayen are NOT part of the Schengen area. Visits of up to 24 hours from mainland Norway are typically permitted, but longer stays require separate authorisation from the Governor of Svalbard.
The Embassy issues a refusal letter stating the reason. You can reapply anytime with new/stronger documentation. SureshotVisa specialises in refusal rebuilds — we decode the real reason (often different from what's written) and restructure the case for reapplication.
Minimum NOK 500 per person per day for the duration of the stay. E.g., a 10-day trip needs NOK 5,000 (~₹40,000) clearly visible in your 3-month bank statement. If you can show this, you don't need a sponsorship form.
