"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "A Norway Tourist Visa is a short-stay Schengen Visa, also known as Type C visa. It allows travelers to visit Norway for tourism, sightseeing, visiting family or friends, or attending short business meetings. With this visa, you can stay in Norway for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Since Norway is part of the Schengen Area, this visa also allows you to travel to other Schengen countries during your trip. However, this visa does not allow you to work or stay long-term in Norway."

"name": "How long can I stay in Norway on a tourist visa?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "With a Norway Tourist Visa, you can stay for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. This means you can spend a maximum of 90 days in Norway and other Schengen countries combined within six months. The 180-day period is counted from the date of your first entry. If you leave and re-enter, the total number of days must still not exceed 90 days. It is important to carefully track your stay to avoid overstaying, as this may affect future visa applications."

"@type": "Question",
"name": "Can I travel to other countries with a Norway Tourist Visa?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Yes, you can travel to other Schengen countries with a valid Norway Tourist Visa. Since Norway is part of the Schengen Area, the visa allows you to visit all other Schengen member countries during its validity period. However, you must follow the 90 days within 180 days rule. In most cases, Norway should be your main destination or first point of entry if you are applying through the Norwegian authorities. The visa does not allow travel to non-Schengen countries without a separate visa."
