General information
A visa for Norway and the Schengen area may be granted for up to 90 days. You may not stay in the Schengen area for more than 90 days during a six-month period. This means that any stay in the Schengen area in the past six months must be taken into consideration when calculating the duration of your visa. The duration of the visa, the first permitted entry date and the last permitted exit date will be stated on the visa sticker.
A visa is generally granted for a single entry. If you plan to travel outside the Schengen area and return within the period covered by the visa, you must tick the ‘two or multiple entries’ box when you apply for a visa. You must also explain why you require multiple entries.
If you have a special need, you can be issued a visa that is valid for multiple entries during a period for up to five years. Such visas are only available for certain categories of applicants, e.g. business persons, truck drivers, seafarers, family members of persons with a valid residence permit in Norway, family members of Norwegian citizens living abroad, etc.
A visa does not entitle you to work or carry out any business activities during your visit. If you wish to work or stay for an extended period in Norway, you must apply for a specific permit for this. Some groups are exempt from the residence permit requirement. For forther information on the exemption, please contact the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI).

Do I need more than one visa to visit more than one country in the Schengen area?
No. The visa you obtain from Norway is valid in the entire Schengen area.
Can I be granted a visa for more than 90 days if I visit several countries?
No. You can be granted a visa for 90 days or less. You must leave the Schengen area before your visa expires. If you do not leave when your visa expires, this may have consequences for any future entry.
