Travel to Norway if you want to see an exciting country with plenty of activities. If you plan to travel to Norway, you may or may not need a Norway visa. Norway does participate in the Schengen visa program that allows nationals from 25 European Union countries including Belgium, Denmark, Spain and Poland to stay a total of up to 90 days within a period of six months.
You need to apply in person for a Schengen, whether you are going to Norway for business or pleasure. Processing time for a Schengen visa takes between 2-10 working days for short-term stays. For long-term stays, the processing time increases to a possible several months.
Before traveling to Norway, ensure that there are an adequate number of unused pages in your passport, allowing for any necessary stamps upon arrival and departure. In fact, before any international travel there should be at least two empty pages in the visa section of your passport. United States citizens can get extra passport pages by completing a DS-4085 form; found online at www.travel.state.gov. There is a fee to be paid and the price depends on how quickly the extra pages you need.
United States citizens with a valid passport do not need a visa for airport transit, tourist or business trips as long as they do not go over 90 days and the passport does not expire before the end of the scheduled trip. A good general rule for any foreign travel: If you are visiting another country, it is a good idea to obtain a visitor's visa that is valid for three months.
Travelers from countries not included in the European Union must have a valid passport and may be required to have a travel visa as well. Your passport must stamped determining the starting point of the authorized stay. If there is not an entry stamp, Border Patrol authorities may assume that the traveler does not fulfill or no longer fulfills the conditions of the stay. A traveler should keep creditable evidence, such as a letter from their employer that identifies the traveler, and their reason for the trip, in order to rebut this presumption. If travel to Norway is for pleasure, bring original letters, sponsorship papers or other documents used to obtain a Norway visa.
