From UDI
“If you plan to visit friends in Norway or visit Norway as a tourist, you will normally not be granted a visa. You can nevertheless be granted a visa if you have strong ties to your home country. If you plan to take a trip organised by a tour operator, you have a better chance.”
What you need
- If you are visiting someone in Norway, you must have an invitation from the person you are visiting. You must normally have booked accommodation for the whole time period of your stay in the Schengen area.
