Yes, travel medical insurance is mandatory when applying for a Norway Tourist Visa. The insurance must cover the entire Schengen area and should be valid for the full duration of your stay. It must include coverage for medical emergencies, hospitalization, and repatriation costs. The minimum coverage amount required is usually €30,000. Without valid travel insurance, your visa application may be rejected. It is important to purchase insurance from an approved provider and ensure that the policy details match your travel dates.
