Do I have to pay a fee for an entry visa?
Most people do not need to pay a fee for an entry visa (the application center may charge a service fee when you submit your documents).
You only have to pay a fee if you are applying for an entry visa before your application for a residence permit has been processed, and if you are a student or a family member of a person living in Norway. The fee will then be the same amount as the fee for a visitor’s visa. You will also be shown the fee amount when you fill out the digital application form.
You do not pay a fee if you
- are applying for a residence permit to work
- have been granted early employment start
- are a diplomat or a family member of a diplomat
- already live in Norway, but are currently abroad without a residence card
