Financial planning for your trip to Scandinavia requires precise knowledge of the direct and indirect costs of the visa process. Applying for the Norway Working Holiday Visa involves a series of mandatory payments that must be made at different stages of the process, from online registration to the in-person appointment.
Below, we detail the current fees and management expenses necessary for a successful application.
Mandatory Official Fees
The cost of the visa is primarily divided into two fees that cover application processing and document reception logistics:
Official UDI fee: The Norwegian Directorate of Immigration sets a payment of NOK 6,300 (Norwegian kroner). This amount is paid entirely digitally through the UDI portal at the time of registering the application. It is important to remember that this payment is non-refundable, even if the visa is denied.
VFS Global service fee: When attending the in-person appointment for biometric data capture and document submission, a management fee must be paid to the service center. This cost varies according to the country of application, generally ranging between €26 and €80 (or its equivalent in local currency).
Management and Documentation Costs
Beyond the visa fees, there are expenses derived from the documentary requirements that the UDI requires to be submitted mandatorily:
Private medical insurance: It is imperative to have a full hospitalization and repatriation policy for the 12 months of the stay.
Official translations: Any financial or legal document that is not originally in English or Norwegian must be translated by a certified professional.
Apostilles and legalizations: Depending on the origin of your certificates, you may require the payment of apostille fees for the documents to have international validity.
