Where to apply: Norway has no mission in Equatorial Guinea

Guides tell you a visa is required but never warn that there is nowhere to file it — the mission simply does not exist in your country. We picked the nearest countries that do accept applications and measured the distance.

1
Ghana 1,433 km
Applications accepted in: Accra
2
Algeria 3,073 km
Applications accepted in: Algiers
3
Kenya 3,078 km
Applications accepted in: Nairobi

Distances are measured between country centroids — a rough guide, not a route. Before you travel, confirm with the chosen consulate that it accepts applicants resident elsewhere: many operate a consular district, and out-of-district applications are not always accepted, often with a longer queue.

For most countries these nearly coincide, but applications filed there by other nationals are included too. 2025 data. Source: European Commission, DG HOME
