Schengen tourist visa submitted to wrong country?

Upvote:1

If it is a multi-entry, long-term visa and it actually gets issued, you should not have problems entering Sweden (I assume this is first port of entry) and also you should not have problems entering Norway (or is it on the same trip?). If anyone asks why Sweden and not Norway, just answer that you have plans to re-visit Sweden later when on the same visa. Please note that it is much easier to enter on the same visa for a second time after already entering and exiting on this visa - chances that you will have zero questions asked.

If for some reason the visa will not be issued, you can try re-applying to Norway.

If this is a short-visit visa it may indeed look weird that you spend more time in the "wrong" country. Otherwise, it may be unusual but it does not put you even remotely in the danger territory, as it would if you'd travelled directly to some 3rd Schengen country instead or tried to do an airport transit to 3rd country via Sweden on that visa.

Also, Sweden may be reluctant to issue further visas to you if you spend less time in Sweden on it than on other Schengen countries. Other countries likely won't care. If Sweden and Norway are on the same trip, they're likely not able to figure out how much time really spent in what country.
