THE APPLICATION

Why Norway Visit Visa applications get refused

Many Nigerians are refused not because they're ineligible, but because of avoidable presentation issues. Here's what we check for before anything is submitted.

1

Wrong Document Set for Your Status

Employed, self-employed, retired, and business applicants each need different supporting documents.

2

Insufficient Daily Funds

Your bank statements need to clearly show at least €50 per day of your planned stay.

3

Insufficient Insurance Coverage

Your travel insurance must meet the €30,000 minimum and cover your entire stay across the Schengen Area.

4

Incomplete Business Documentation

Business applicants need a clear invitation letter, proof of expense coverage, and company registration documents.
