Norway was early to open up for visas for digital Nomads, one of the first 20 countries i the world. But there ends the hospitality. As for 2025 there are now more than 60 countries offering such visas. For Norway you still have to make a solid income to achieve a visa, and remote workers have to show that you have a contract with a Norwegian client - and earn at least $38,162 annually. We are sorry for this strict rules, and hope that the government will start to see the value of digital nomads visiting us. The application fee comes on top of this, and is $641 as for march 2025.
You also need a passport valid for at least two years, proof of residence. Health insurance is also required.
So for now, we suggest to just visit us for one to three months, and wait for better times.
Digital Nomad visas for non Eu residents
Norway has been ranked as one of seven countries to take a workation by travel magazine Wanderlust. It is easy to understand why. The stunning scenery of course, but also the space, the easiness and the endless options for sports both summer and winter.
Remote workers will need either a Schengen visa or an ETIAS visa to enter Norway. And as a nomad, it seem like a good idea to come for three months, then just go to a non Schengen country for three months and then come back again.
But if you still want to stay longer, you can apply for a D-visa. The D-visa is issued by the Norwegian consulate authorities. The d-visa is issued for foreigners wishing to study, work or live in a Schengen-country for longer than 90 days.
A Digital Nomad visa is on the other hand easier to apply for than the D-visa, if you have all the needed documents and the income needed. The digital nomad visa can be issued for up to two years and it can be renewed at a local police station while living here
