How to apply

  • Identify the responsible Norwegian Embassy or Consulate: Angola may not have a direct Norwegian mission, so applications are often handled by the Embassy of a Schengen country representing Norway's interests or processed through a Visa Application Centre (VAC) like VFS Global or BLS International. Check the UDI website (udi.no) or the Norwegian embassy website (norway.no) for the correct application point.
  • Gather required documents: Compile all necessary documents as listed in the 'What you need' section.
  • Schedule an appointment: Book an appointment online through the VAC or the designated embassy's portal.
  • Submit your application: Attend your appointment to submit your application form, documents, passport, and provide biometric data (fingerprints and photo).
  • Pay the visa fee: Pay the visa fee at the application center. Payment methods usually include cash or card, specify accepted currencies and methods with the VAC.
  • Track your application: You can usually track your application status online through the VAC's website.

Fees & processing time

  • Visa Fee: EUR 80 (approximately USD 85-90, subject to exchange rate fluctuations). Children aged 6-12 pay EUR 40.
  • VFS/BLS Service Fee: If applicable, expect an additional service fee of approximately EUR 25-35 (or local currency equivalent).
  • Total Cost Estimate: EUR 105-115 per applicant, excluding travel insurance costs.
  • Standard Processing Time: Typically 15 calendar days, but can take up to 30 or even 60 days in exceptional cases.
  • Express/Priority Option: Not generally available for standard Schengen visa applications. Applications are processed in the order they are received.

Tips for Angola travelers

  • Apply well in advance: It is recommended to apply at least 1-2 months before your intended travel date due to potential processing delays and appointment availability.
  • Common rejection reasons for Angola applicants: Incomplete application, insufficient proof of financial means, lack of clear travel purpose and itinerary, perceived risk of overstaying, or inadequate travel health insurance are common reasons. Ensure all documents are accurate, well-organized, and genuine.
  • VFS/BLS vs. direct embassy application: Using a VAC like VFS or BLS can streamline the process with fixed procedures and multiple locations, but involves an extra service fee. Applying directly at an embassy might be an option if available and may avoid the service fee, but appointment availability can be limited.
  • Current Travel Advisories: Always check for any specific travel advisories or requirements issued by the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI) or your country's foreign ministry regarding travel from Angola.
  • Extension options inside Norway: Extensions are generally only granted in very exceptional circumstances, such as serious illness or compelling personal reasons. It is not a common practice and should not be relied upon for extending a tourist stay.
