关于调整赴华签证政策的通知

为有序恢复中挪人员往来，自2022年6月14日起，我馆将进一步调整赴华签证受理范围、简化签证申请资料，具体调整如下：

免除来华就业人员签证邀请函（PU函）、免除复工复产人员家属签证邀请函（PU函），以上人员可按疫情前政策申请Z类（工作）、S类（私人事务）签证；

在现行奔丧、探望危重病亲属等事由基础上，允许中国公民及在华具有永久居留资格的外国人的外籍家庭成员来华团聚或探亲，以上人员可按疫情前政策申请Q类（团聚类）签证。

政策调整后，我馆签证受理范围及签证申请所需资料见附表。相关申请人请直接与奥斯陆中国签证申请服务中心邮件（[e-mail]）预约递交申请的时间，普通申请办理时限4个工作日，加急申请办理时限3个工作日（领事官员可视个案要求申请人补充材料或面谈，受理时间可能相应延长）。
