What is the difference between a Norwegian tourist visa and a Schengen visa?

Hello, first you need to understand what a Schengen visa is.

On June 24, 1985, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg signed the Schengen Agreement in the Luxembourg border town (SCHENGSN). The agreement stipulates that its member states issue a uniform format of visa to short-term visitors, namely the Schengen visa. Once the applicant obtains a visa from a certain country, he can travel freely within all Schengen member states within the validity period and period of stay of the visa, but starting from the first Starting from the second country, you need to apply to the relevant local department within 3 days.

As a Schengen member state, Norway’s tourist visa is of course the Schengen visa; however, the Norwegian visa classification can be subdivided into a series of visas such as tourism, business, study abroad, and immigration. Of course, you can enter France and Italy with a tourist visa from Norway.
