Everyone who wanted to visit Norway is undoubtedly interested in the question - how can I get a Norwegian visa? Is it possible to get into the country on a visa of another country?
So, starting a conversation about a Norwegian visa, it is worth saying that Norway is in the Schengen community, so it can be visited using a visa of any other European country, although, of course, you should ensure that the time staying in Norway, as well as The number of races in this country did not exceed the time of stay in the country that Shengen gave you.
In addition, of course, it is possible to get a Norwegian visa that can be done at the Visa Center of Norway in some cities of Russia - Moscow, St. Petersburg, Murmansk, as well as Arkhangelsk. Visas are generally done quite quickly, the grant period is usually not delayed, there are no big queues.
Below for the convenience of all those who wish to get a Norwegian visa I will give the addresses, a schedule, as well as phones of the consulates and embassies of Norway in the Russian Federation. Such centers are in Moscow and St. Petersburg, as well as in Murmansk and Arkhangelsk (this is due to the fact that Norway has a land border with Murmansk and Arkhangelsk regions.
