During the ongoing political situation in Ukraine, the Norwegian Embassy in Moscow has agreed to receive applications for residence permits for Belarus citizens. This offer will be valid only so long as the unrest in Ukraine lasts.
Norway does not have a diplomatic mission in Belarus. The Norwegian Embassy in Kyiv is thus accredited to Belarus. A Belarusian citizen who wants a Norwegian Schengen visa may either apply at the Norwegian Embassy in Kyiv or at the French Embassy in Minsk, representing Norway in visa matter in Belarus. You will find information about visa procedure at the French Embassy’s webpage.
Belarusian citizens who want to apply for a Schengen visa to Norway at French Embassy in Minsk must bear in mind that the applications will be handled in accordance with French and Schengen regulations. The Norwegian Embassy in Kyiv is not involved in the French Embassy's processing of visas. Should the French Embassy not be able to issue a visa, a formal rejection will be given to the applicant.
