Processing time
The processing time of a visa depends on each individual case. However, applicants should always apply several weeks before the intended journey. If the case is considered uncomplicated, it can be handled by the Embassy in Khartoum, in which case the processing time as follows (counting from the day the Embassy receives all the requested documents):
- Schengen visa (tourist, business, training) - 15 days (may be extended up to 30 days if the case requires further scrutiny)
If the case is considered somewhat complicated, the case will be handled by the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI). For current processing times at the Directorate of Immigration, please click here.
Visa applications for Denmark, Sweden and Iceland that cannot be approved by the Embassy will be forwarded to the Danish, Swedish and Icelandic Immigration authorities. Their processing times can be found on their websites.
