Visas & Customs Requirements

General | Marriage | STUDENTS | Employment

Students:

In order to obtain a permit to study in Norway, you must:

Have a firm offer of admission from an officially recognised educational institution

Be going into full-time education
This means that you must take subjects or courses that are eligible for full support from the State Educational Loan Fund (Statens Lånekasse). This applies even if you intend to finance your stay by means other than the State Educational Loan Fund

Be ensured housing
You must be ensured housing for the period to which the application relates. Housing is considered to be ensured if you have the use of a house, apartment, bed-sit, room in a boarding house, etc. If the accommodation is rented, a written contract must be presented, approved by the landlord, housing cooperative or other person having charge of the accommodation.

Be ensured subsistence
You must be ensured subsistence for the period the application relates to. You must have financial means equivalent to full funding by the State Educational Loan Fund at the current rate. For the academic year 2009-10 this amounts to NOK 87 600. If you must pay school fees, this amount will be in addition to the above-mentioned subsistence requirement.

Subsistence may be ensured by a study loan, a grant, your own means or income from work. You may apply for a permit to work part-time alongside your studies. Income from this work may be taken into consideration when assessing whether you have sufficient means to ensure subsistence.

If you are planning to meet the subsistence requirement in full or partly by part time work, you need to submit a concrete offer of employment clearly stating working hours and salary. A working permit is granted for work up to 20 hours a week and full time during holidays. The requirement of subsistence is increased to approximately NOK 100 000 as the income is subject to tax.

It is generally not acceptable for subsistence to be ensured by a financial guarantee from a third party, regardless of whether the guarantor is in Norway or abroad. In exceptional cases it may, however, be accepted that parents living in Norway can guarantee that an applicant will receive board and lodging in their home.

If you have your own means at your disposal, the general rule is that you must transfer the amount to an account in a Norwegian bank in your own name or if applicable, deposit the amount in an account that the educational institution has established for this purpose. Documentation of the balance in your account or confirmation from the educational institution that the money remains in the account, must be submitted with the application.

In addition, it is a condition that you return to your country of origin on completion of your studies. “Country of origin” means the country of which you are a citizen, or where you have been granted long-term permanent residence. An assessment will be made on the basis of your situation at the time of the decision.

You may, however, apply for further residence i Norway. It is a condition that you have had legal residence in Norway for the past 9 months.

When applying for a residence permit for educational purposes, the following documents must be included:

Application form for students

Passport photo/other photo which meets the set requirements

A letter of admission from the educational institution where you wish to study. The letter of admission must contain your name, information about the educational institution, the studies and the level to which you have been admitted, plus the length of the studies

Documentation of housing

Documentation of subsistence (documentation of support from the State Educational Loan Fund and/or documentation that the amount of the subsistence requirement has been deposited in a Norwegian bank account in the applicant’s name or in the educational institution’s account for this purpose)

Copy of passport

You must also pay a fee

As a main rule, it is sufficient that copies of the documents are sent with the application. However, you have to produce the original documents when you hand in your application.
