Norway sits inside the Schengen area but outside the EU. Nordic, EU and EEA citizens travel on a passport or national ID card with no visa requirement. British, US, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, Japanese, South Korean and Singaporean passport holders enter visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180-day period, which comfortably covers a fair visit. Nationals of India, China, Türkiye, South Africa and other visa-required countries need a Schengen Type C visa: apply through a Norwegian embassy or VFS Global application centre at least 15 days before departure, pay the EUR 90 fee, and carry travel medical insurance with minimum EUR 30,000 cover, proof of fair registration, hotel booking and return travel. Bring your passport to the venue for badge collection, and note that Norway applies its own customs regime separate from the EU.
Estimated cost: Varies by visa type and nationality (check official site).
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
Apply through a Norwegian embassy, consulate or VFS Global centre with the completed application, biometrics, travel medical insurance of at least EUR 30,000, hotel booking, flight itinerary and a fair registration or exhibitor invitation letter. Children under 6 are exempt from the visa fee; the same insurance, accommodation and itinerary documents are required for each applicant.
