REGISTRATION
REGISTRATION / VISA
Senior Official Meeting (SOM) is by invitation only. Invited participants are welcome to register here. Due to limited space, we kindly ask that delegation size be kept limited.
International organisations and larger NGOs could be represented by principal plus two participants, smaller organisations by one participant. Likewise, we encourage state delegations to limit delegation size to 2-3 participants where possible.
APPLICATION PROCESS
Within 10 working days after completing your approved conference registration, you will receive a confirmation letter to be used for visa application. The confirmation letter will be sent to your registered email address.
VISA REQUIREMENTS
To facilitate the application process, please consult the nearest Norwegian embassy’s website for information about the specific procedures and documents needed in your country. You can find your nearest Norwegian embassy here.
PROCESSING TIME
The duration of processing visa applications, once a complete application dossier has been submitted, is normally 15 working days, but may take up to 30 days in some cases. We therefore recommend applying for a visa as early as possible.
TRAVEL SPONSORSHIP
In case you will be granted travel sponsorship, we will send you a confirmation letter to be included in your visa application.
VISA
Kindly note that it is your responsibility to apply for and obtain a visa in advance of your journey to Norway. Participants travelling to Norway via a third country are reminded to check if they need a transit visa with the authorities of the third country.
Most people from countries outside the EU/EEA must apply for a visitor's visa. Information on visa requirements for Norway can be found on the website of the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI).
