Argentina to Norway visa requirements

Q: How long can I stay in Norway without a visa?

Up to 90 days within any rolling 180-day period, counted across all Schengen countries combined - not 90 days in Norway alone.

Q: Do I need ETIAS to visit Norway now?

Not yet. As of 30 May 2026 ETIAS is not in force. It is expected to become operational in the last quarter of 2026, after which Argentine travellers will need an approved ETIAS before departure.

Q: How much will ETIAS cost?

The fee is EUR 20 per application once the system launches. It is free for applicants under 18 or over 70. ETIAS is valid for 3 years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first.

Q: What if I want to stay longer than 90 days or work in Norway?

You must apply for the appropriate Norwegian residence permit or national (long-stay) visa before travelling; the visa-free route does not allow work or stays beyond 90 days.

No visa needed. Argentine ordinary passport holders can enter Norway visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days in any 180-day period across the Schengen area. Argentina is on Norway's visa-exemption list, confirmed by the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI). As an Argentine ordinary passport holder, you may travel to Norway and the wider Schengen area for tourism without a visa for up to 90 days within any rolling 180-day period. Your passport must have been issued within the last 10 years and remain valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen area. As of 30 May 2026, no pre-travel authorisation is required. However, the EU's ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) is expected to become operational in the last quarter of 2026; once live (after a transitional grace period), Argentine travellers will need to obtain an approved ETIAS authorisation before departure. ETIAS is not a visa - it is an online pre-screening linked to your passport. Norway is one of the 30 European countries covered by a single ETIAS authorisation.
