Norway was early to open up for visas for digital Nomads, one of the first 20 countries i the world. But there ends the hospitality. As for 2025 there are now more than 60 countries offering such visas. For Norway you still have to make a solid income to achieve a visa, and remote workers have to show that you have a contract with a Norwegian client - and earn at least $38,162 annually. We are sorry for this strict rules, and hope that the government will start to see the value of digital nomads visiting us. The application fee comes on top of this, and is $641 as for march 2025.

You also need a passport valid for at least two years, proof of residence. Health insurance is also required.

So for now, we suggest to just visit us for one to three months, and wait for better times.



Clean air, space, nature, the fjords and the waterfalls. The to do list is long, but unfortunately a tourist visa seems to be the best option for digital Nomads in 2025.

Digital Nomad visas for non Eu residents

Norway has been ranked as one of seven countries to take a workation by travel magazine Wanderlust. It is easy to understand why. The stunning scenery of course, but also the space, the easiness and the endless options for sports both summer and winter.


Remote workers will need either a Schengen visa or an ETIAS visa to enter Norway. And as a nomad, it seem like a good idea to come for three months, then just go to a non Schengen country for three months and then come back again.


But if you still want to stay longer, you can apply for a D-visa. The D-visa is issued by the Norwegian consulate authorities. The d-visa is issued for foreigners wishing to study, work or live in a Schengen-country for longer than 90 days.


A Digital Nomad visa is on the other hand easier to apply for than the D-visa, if you have all the needed documents and the income needed. The digital nomad visa can be issued for up to two years and it can be renewed at a local police station while living here

    How about going to the next level of possibilities in your digital nomad life.  We know by experience that after months and years on movement, it gets in your blood.  The travel, the wind in the sails.  The nomadic life is our ancient heritage.  We might be lonely wolfs, but we also need the tribe, the flock.

As humans, as nomads we are different personalities.  Some are more social than the rest of us who travel for the love of lone-ness.  But we all need the feeling of humans around us from time to time.  In Moritsgarden you have enough space to breathe inside a genuine society.  

A small, untamed coliving on Norway’s west coast — no bosses, few rules, big on care. Nestled beside a protected olivine  forest and centuries of boatbuilding craft, we blend regenerative travel with hands-on living: repair, build, create and appreciation of life, society, nature, selv. Daily life should consist of belonging, space and contentment. Let Bjørkedal tune you back to the pace of life, and by staying here, make this spot on earth richer than you found it.
