The application will not be sent to the Embassy before the payment has been successfully processed (usually within a few seconds). Applicants (/reference person etc.) may pay by Visa or Master Card.
Cancellation of Application
To cancel an application that has already been submitted on the Portal, you must contact the Embassy in Bratislava. It is not possible to cancel an application using the Application Portal.
All applications for any kind of permit will be scanned and sent electronically to UDI in Norway for processing.
What do we have to ask from you as an applicant?
When you apply you must bring all the original supporting documents and a perfect copy of each. The copies must be A4, with no staples, no stickers, no torn pages.
After we have seen the originals, you will receive the originals in return and the copies will be kept in the file. The only original we need to keep is the guarantee form from the reference in Norway.
Since the transfer time will be abolished, UDI expects the case processing time to decline.
