On 25 March 2001 Norway became part of the Schengen area, which includes the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden. A visa for one of the countries in the Schengen area is valid for a stay in all the other Schengen countries during the period for which the visa is valid. See also general information sheet in ENGLISH and UKRANIAN, and General information from the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI).
Who can apply
Anyone can submit an application for visa or residence/work permit. Please be aware that the passport or the residence permit in Ukraine should be valid for three months beyond the intended stay in Norway, and that there should be at least two empty pages especially assigned for visa and/or permit stickers.
How to apply
Application forms are available at the Embassy and on the INTERNET. Guarantee forms for visit are also available at police stations in Norway, the Embassy and on the INTERNET.
Everyone is entitled to apply for a visa. The Embassy is obliged to recieve and consider the application even if no supporting documentation has been provided. Supporting documentation will, however, normally be beneficial for the application. An incomplete application might be immediately refused or forwarded to the UDI for processing. Applicants are required to submit the application in person at the Embassy (cf. §108, Provisions to the Immigration Act).
NOTE! All supporting information must be submitted together with the application, by the applicant personally. If, upon the explicit request from the staff of the Embassy, supporting documentation is to be sent by fax, mail or e-mail, this should be done with reference to the application number of a registered application. Supporting documentation sent to the Embassy without reference to a registered application will not be considered, and made waste. References sending supporting documentation should do so directly to the applicants, not to the Embassy.
