Norway issues a Schengen Type C short-stay visitor visa allowing stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period, valid across all 27 Schengen states and covering business meetings, conferences and trade fairs. Non-EU/EEA nationals who are not Schengen visa-exempt, including Indian passport holders, must apply before travelling to Bygg Reis Deg 2027.
Estimated cost: Approx USD 580 / NOK 5,900 government business visa fee as cited by 2026 visa service information; visa-exempt travellers pay nothing. Confirm the current Schengen fee on udi.no before paying.
Processing: Apply at least 4 to 6 weeks before the 20 October 2027 show opening; UDI assesses the application after biometrics are submitted at a visa centre, and demand rises in the autumn travel season.
