Schengen visa

In order to travel to Norway, Thai citizens need a Schengen visa. A Schengen visa is a document showing that you have permission to enter Norway and other Schengen countries for a limited period of up to 90 days. You may be granted a Schengen visa if you intend to travel to Norway as a tourist, to visit family or friends, a business or study trip, or other business which does not require a work or residence permit. NB: Applications where the main destination is Iceland should be submitted to the Danish Embassy.
