Russian Visa & MigrationConsulting for Norwegian nationals

What's included in this service

• 📋

  Visa category selection for Norwegian nationals

  Norwegian citizens can apply for the full range of Russian visa categories. Schengen area membership provides no advantage in the Russian visa system. We advise on the correct category and document requirements for your specific travel purpose.

  Oil, gas and Arctic sector travel

  Norway has been an important partner in oil and gas exploration, and Norwegian companies in offshore services and Arctic shipping have had Russia-facing activities. Specialists travelling for technical work or negotiations typically require a business visa with a properly structured invitation.

  Work permits and HQS status for Norwegian professionals

  Norwegian professionals in energy engineering, maritime and specialist management roles may qualify for HQS status in Russia. HQS bypasses the quota system and provides a multi-entry visa valid for up to three years.

  Residence permits for longer-term stays

  Norwegian nationals planning extended periods in Russia may apply for temporary residence (RVP) and subsequently for permanent residence (VNJ). We advise on eligibility, required documents and processing timelines.

  Corporate migration for Norwegian employers

  Norwegian companies sending staff to Russia face employer-side compliance obligations. We advise on work permit sponsorship, registration on arrival and periodic migration notifications.

  Visa extension and status management

  Changing visa category, extending a stay or transitioning between statuses requires following specific procedures. We advise on the legally available options.
