Citizens of countries that do not have an agreement with Norway, must have a visa to visit Norway.
Please find a list of countries that have agreements here.

All participants themselves are responsible to obtain visa to travel to Norway. The organizing committee will issue invitation letters to participants who require a visa. To receive an invitation letter, please write an email to hess2025@konferanser.ntnu.no and explicitly indicating the requirement.

It is important that all participants check-in with the Norwegian embassy in their home country concerning required documentations and the invitation letter needed (e.g., if there is specific format or text requirement).

It is also important to indicate the form of the invitation letter that is needed, e.g., (1) letter via email – digitally signed, (2) letter via email – physically signed scan copy and (3) completely physical letter via mail. For option 3, physical letter via mail, the participant will have to pay the actual postal fees. Fees will vary from country to country and, hence, it will be communicated individually via email during the preparation of the invitation letter.
