Should I provide EURO 2250 in my bank account for 90 days travel to Norway even though I have a sponsor?My friend in Norway invite me to go there and would like to pay all of my expenses (transport, accommodation, food, etc). I read that the visitor who have sponsor like me still must provide 25 EURO X how many days I stay there. Is this mean I have to provide EURO 2250 in my bank account before apply for the visa?I... |
Norway actually requires 500 NOK/day to cover expenses, which is closer to €65 (€5850 for 90 days).
However, your sponsor can sign a guarantee form which reduces this amount. They agree to be responsible for all of your expenses, including covering deportation if you overstay, so it's a major commitment. You also need travel insurance. The sponsor needs to take the following form, along with financial information like a salary pay slip and bank statements, to the local police station. You need to bring a copy of the notarised form and a copy of your sponsor's passport with you when you travel to Norway.

The form alone doesn't guarantee a visa, though it helps if you are provided room/board and don't have all of the funds necessary to cover other expenses yourself. You are still expected to be able to cover some costs, though the amount is subjective and depends on how much your sponsor is providing.

That's not nearly enough money for 90 days. Norway is one of the most expensive countries in the world. 25 Euros per day will barely cover your food.
Yes, you should anyway. You don't know how things will work out with your friend, so it's good to have a back-up plan in case you need to leave sooner than you had planned.
yes
