Indonesia to Norway visa requirements

Q: Does ETIAS apply to Indonesian travellers?

No. Indonesia is not on the EU visa-free list, so ETIAS does not apply. A full Schengen visa is still required even after ETIAS launches in late 2026.

Q: Where do I apply in Indonesia?

Applications are submitted through the VFS Global visa application centre (Jakarta/Bali) on behalf of the Royal Norwegian Embassy.

Q: How much does it cost?

EUR 90 for the visa plus about EUR 20 (around IDR 380,000) VFS service fee, so roughly EUR 110 total per adult.

Q: How early should I apply?

You can apply up to 6 months before travel and must apply at least 15 days before. Standard processing is about 15 days but can take up to 45.

Indonesian ordinary passport holders need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to visit Norway for tourism. Apply through VFS Global before you travel. Norway is a Schengen member state. Holders of an Indonesian ordinary passport are NOT visa-exempt and must obtain a Schengen short-stay (Type C) tourist visa before travelling. The visa allows stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the whole Schengen area. Indonesia is not on the EU's visa-free list, so ETIAS (launching late 2026) does NOT apply — Indonesian travellers continue to need a full Schengen visa even after ETIAS goes live. Applications for Norway are lodged through the VFS Global visa application centre in Indonesia (Jakarta/Bali) on behalf of the Royal Norwegian Embassy. The standard adult visa fee is EUR 90 plus a VFS service fee of about EUR 20 (around IDR 380,000). Standard processing is about 15 calendar days but can extend to 45 days during busy periods, so apply well ahead — you may file up to 6 months before travel (and at least 15 days before). Diplomatic and service passport holders are exempt, but this guide covers the ordinary passport.
