Visit a family member who is life-threateningly ill or attend a funeral

You must pay an application fee.
You must hand in all the documents on the embassy’s checklist. You will find the checklist by clicking on the “How to apply”-button below and choosing the country you live in.
You must have a passport that is valid for at least three months after the end of your visit. The passport must be issued within the last ten years.
You must have valid travel insurance.
You must have enough money to finance your stay in Norway and your return journey. You must be able to document that you have at least NOK 500 per day during your stay in Norway and the Schengen area. If you do not have enough money yourself, you must have a financial guarantee: The person or company you are visiting must fill out a sponsorship form, which can be either electronic or on a paper form. Remember to have the four-word sponsor code ready when you apply for a visitor visa (if your sponsor uses the electronic form). You only need a sponsor for the visit if you do not have enough money yourself.
You must not be subject to a prohibition against entry to Norway or Schengen.
If you have been in the Schengen area in the last 90 days, you must check when it is possible for you to re-enter, and how many days you can stay in Schengen. Please use the visa calculator to check this (ec.europa.eu) (external website)
You must register your fingerprints.
If you are under the age of 18, both your parents, or other persons responsible for you, must sign your application.

You must have a medical certificate that shows that the person you plan to visit is life-threateningly ill.

When we process your application, we consider how probable it is that you will return to your home country or the country you live in when the visit is over. We consider the situation in your country and your own situation.
We will focus on whether you have anything that ties you to your home country, for example work, property, a spouse or family members who you are supporting.
If we believe that it is unlikely that you will return, your application will normally be rejected.

If you plan to visit a family member who is life-threateningly ill or if you are to attend the funeral of a close family member, you will normally be granted a visa. The visa will then only be valid in Norway and not in other Schengen countries.
If the person who is ill or dead is one of your parents, siblings or your child, you have a better chance of being granted a visa.
You must have a medical certificate that shows that the person you plan to visit is life-threateningly ill.
