FAQs

The Schengen Visa is usually valid for stays of up to 90 days. If you're unsure, feel free to contact our team through WhatsApp or iVisa chat during support hours.
Norway offers several visa types depending on the length and purpose of stay. These include the Schengen Visa (Type C) for short stays, national visas and residence permits for longer stays, airport transit visas, and the upcoming ETIAS travel authorization for visa-exempt travelers.
ETIAS is an upcoming electronic travel authorization that will be required for travelers from visa-free countries entering Norway and the Schengen Area. It is not a visa and will allow short stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period once implemented.
Working in Norway generally requires a residence permit or long-stay visa approved before arrival. A Schengen Visa does not allow employment.
Yes. A valid Schengen Visa issued by Norway allows travel to all Schengen countries, as long as the stay does not exceed the 90/180-day limit.
Our team works with a legal partner specializing in Schengen Visa applications. They will review your application to ensure it is accurate and complete. Once the authorities approve it, you’ll receive an email with the next steps.
The 90/180 rule means you can stay in the Schengen Area for a maximum of 90 days total within any continuous 180-day window. The 180-day period is counted backward from each day you are in the Schengen Area. Example:

  • You enter the Schengen Area on January 1
  • You stay for 30 days and leave on January 30
  • In the last 180 days, you’ve used 30 days
  • You still have 60 days left to use

If you later return:

  • You stay 40 more days
  • Now you’ve used 70 days total
  • You only have 20 days left until older days drop off the 180-day window
  • Leaving the Schengen Area resets nothing. Only time does
A Norway Schengen Visa (Type C) is a visa required for travelers from visa-required countries and must be obtained before travel through official channels. ETIAS is not a visa but an online travel authorization for travelers from visa-exempt countries. Once implemented, it will be applied for online before departure and will allow short stays in Norway and the Schengen Area. ETIAS is faster to obtain but does not permit long-term stays or employment and does not replace a Schengen Visa for travelers who need one.
