Visas for Norwegian citizens and Third Country Nationals

According to Directive 38/2004, Article 6, Paragraph 1 an EU citizens can stay for a period of up to 3 months in any EU member state, as long as one holds a valid travel document (Passport, ID Card). Despite not being an EU member state, the Directive applies in Norway by virtue of Decision 158/2007 of the EEA Joint Committee.
Thereby, holders of valid Norwegian passports do not require a Visa to travel to Greece and can remain for a maximum of 3 months without interruption, as long as the passport/ID Card is valid up to the day they depart from Greece. In order to remain for a period of more than 3 months, a Norwegian citizen must apply for a registration certificate.

Third country nationals requiring (Schengen) Visa (See Annex I of Regulation 539/2001/EC)

Minors requiring Visa, must be accompanied by both parents/ legal guardians. If only one parent/legal guardian is present, the written consent of the other is necessary. The authenticity of the signature of this parent should be validated. Other documents required are: the original full birth certificate (Fødselsdag Attest) of the child, and parents’/guardians’ passports (originals and photocopies as well).

Therefore, the waiting period will be longer. You should also take into consideration that the issuance of visas for applications received by post require more time.

Medical Travel Insurance shall be valid throughout the territory of the Member States and cover the entire period of the applicant’s intended stay or transit within the validity of the visa, i.e. the insurance shall only cover the period of effective stay, and not the validity of the Canadian Visa for Mexican Citizens. The minimum coverage shall be EUR 30,000.
