Norwegian working visa application

[WearyLady]

My son has applied for a seasonal working visa for Norway. His passport has been returned but there is no visa stamp in it. Does this mean that his application has been unsuccessful or, if successful, is he going to receive some documentation at a later date? If the latter, do you have any idea how long this is likely to take?

Did he ask for his passport back before he gets the answer? This information says that you can do that and if that's what he did he'll get the answer later.

"If you hand in your application abroad, you must normally hand in both your passport and the copies. If you need your passport back before you receive an answer to your application, please contact the place where you hand in the application."

You can check the expected waiting times there too.

Thanks. He did ask for his passport to be returned and, since my original post, he's received an email saying his application is being processed.
