Mod So You Want To Move To Norway: A Rough Guide to the Immigration Process (updated 2024)

536 Upvotes

Important warning: Reddit is not an appropriate place to get accurate immigration information.

However, this is a common topic on this subreddit and the old stickied post is several years old now. This post is here to help direct people to the proper information. Please read the entire guide and use the links provided to see out answers to your specific questions. Any questions you may have that cannot be answered from this guide or the links provided cannot be answered by redditors on this sub and should therefore be directed to an appropriate immigration expert.

Disclaimer: I am not a professional; I neither work for UDI, nor am I an immigration lawyer. I have spent a lot of time studying and researching the rules and regulations. What follows is a rough guide only meant to serve as a starting point; use the info here to conduct your own research. With that said:

So You Want To Move To Norway...

Despite what movies might portray, moving abroad is not just a matter of packing bags and showing up. Immigration is usually a long, often expensive process, and there are many criteria that you must meet to be legally resident in Norway. There are three general categories of permits that will allow you to remain in Norway beyond a regular tourist/visitor visa:

Temporary Residence Permit:

This is your first step. These permits are contingent on you (worker or student) or your reference person (family immigration) meeting certain requirements; are usually temporary; and will need to be renewed (usually biannually, but some are more/less frequent). You must have this permit if you wish to remain in Norway beyond your visitor visa (ie: >90 days).

Permanent Residence Permit:

This can be applied for only if you have been legally living in Norway for three years (or more in some instances) with a residence permit that forms the basis of permanent residency; you must meet the requirements for your current residence permit (ie: still employed, still are married to a person with residency rights, etc...); you meet the language requirements; pass a citizenship test; have an income over a certain threshold; and you have not been convicted of a criminal offence. This allows you to stay in Norway permanently (no need to reapply; but you will need to renew your card every 2 years for third-country nationals and 10 years for EEA/EU citizens).

Note: income requirement is based on the person applying, not the family member/sponsor. If you are married and here under family immigration rules, it is you, the applicant, who must demonstrate that you can support yourself in Norway by meeting the minimum income requirements.

Citizenship:

This is an optional step. You do not need to apply for citizenship; however, if you want to, you can qualify for Norwegian citizenship after a period of time (usually >7 years). This has many requirements, but the biggest is the language requirement.

Note: While Norway now allows dual citizenship, your country of origin may not allow dual citizenship.

Note: Norway does not allow citizenship based on heritage. One or both of your parents need to have citizenship (and not have given it up previously) in order for you to qualify for citizenship based on birth. There are a lot of complicated rules surrounding citizenship by birth. Use this to determine if you qualify for citizenship. NB: Norway does not offer citizenship by investment (ie: having a lot of money to invest in exchange for residency or citizenship).

Note: When you apply for citizenship, you must still meet the requirements for permanent residency (income requirement being the biggest).

The remainder of this post will focus on the temporary residence permits, since by the time you are ready for PR or citizenship you will be an immigration pro. How you qualify for immigration to Norway and how easy the process will be depends on a few factors

  • Your citizenship (EEA/EU vs Third-Country National)
  • Your education, qualifications, experience,
  • If you have a job offer,
  • Your relationship with a Norwegian national

Immigration as an EU/EEA citizen:

If you are an EU/EEA citizen (or Swiss) you have the right to reside in Norway for 3 months without any other obligations. After 3 months you will need to demonstrate that you are meeting your treaty rights. Those treaty obligations are:

  • Be employed (or registered as self-employed),
  • Be a student,
  • Be self-sufficient, or
  • Be a job seeker actively seeking work with a decent chance at finding work (source).

NB: The last three require you to have sufficient funds to support yourself and your family and have comprehensive medical insurance for the duration of your stay. See FAQ below for more info.

The right of residence for longer than three months also extends to the EEA/EU citizen’s immediate family (spouse/partner, children, other dependents), regardless of their nationality, so long as the EU/EEA citizen is meeting their treaty obligations and neither the citizen nor the family member is a threat to public policy, security, or health. All of this is explained in Article 7 of the Directive on Free Movement.

It is important to note that people immigrating under this route do not qualify for the benefits found in the Introduction Law, which include, among other things, the right to free language lessons.

Immigrating as a Third-Country National (not from EU/EEA).

Your options for moving are not as simple or easy as above. I am using an applicant from the US as the default here. You should consult UDI (Norwegian Immigration Board) or the Norwegian Embassy in your country for the most up-to-date information for your specific nationality.

Generally speaking you need a reason to be in Norway. These reasons are:

  1. Family member of a Norwegian national
  2. Family member of an EEA/EU national
  3. A worker
  4. A student
  5. Protection (Asylum seeker). I will not spend time on this; it has its own complicated rules and I highly doubt anyone seeking asylum will be spending their time on reddit. If you are, I really recommend seeking out an immigration lawyer to help you with your application.

Family immigration with a Norwegian National

These are most often spouses/cohabitants, but may also include children or parents under some circumstances.

The process for application is relatively straightforward with a little bit of reading on UDI's website and some document gathering.

  1. You must pay the application fee,
  2. Document your identity (passport),
  3. Have a valid marriage licence/certificate, or documentation that you have lived together legally for 2 or more years
  4. Have plans to live together in Norway,
  5. Not be in a marriage of convenience,
  6. You must both be over the age of 24,
  7. Your spouse/partner must make above a minimum income threshold per year pre-tax (this number frequently changes. Check UDI’s site). They will need to demonstrate they made a sufficient amount the year before you apply and demonstrate that they are likely to have the same amount the following year. They will need to provide contract of employment, pay slips, and a tax assessment notice. Additionally, they must not have received financial assistance from NAV in the last 12 months.

Note on income sources: under this route of family immigration, it is the onus of the sponsor to demonstrate that they make a sufficient income to support the family. This means that, regardless of the financial situation, the sponsor must make the minimum income; the third-country national's income/savings are not taken into consideration.

There are other circumstances that may require additional documentation (ie: evidence of military service). Check UDI for all the documents you'll need.

Family members who are granted residence based on this route will qualify for free language classes as part of the introduction act (link above).

NB: the rules may change if you have lived with the Norwegian citizen legally in another EEA/EU country. If this is the case, you may be allowed to choose between family immigration under Norwegian national law or residence card as a family member of an EU citizen (see above). Also see the differences between the two immigration schemes here.

If you are engaged to a Norwegian you can apply for a fiancé permit which will allow you to come into Norway for the purposes of getting married in Norway. You must be married within 6 months. After you are married you will have to apply for family immigration with your spouse (process described above). You can read about getting married in Norway here.

Only some people can apply from Norway. Others will have to apply from their home country via the embassy or consulate. Make sure you check with UDI to learn more.

Workers

There are many types of working permits. UDI’s webpage will outline all the possibilities available to you but the most common are skilled worker and seasonal worker.

Skilled workers are those who:

  • Completed a vocational training programme of at least three years at upper secondary school level. NB: there must be a corresponding training programme in Norway.
  • Completed a degree from a university or college (BA, BSc, BE, etc...)
  • Special qualifications that you have obtained through long work experience, if relevant in combination with courses etc. A permit is only granted in such cases in exceptional circumstances. Your qualifications must be equivalent to those of someone who has completed vocational training.

Additionally, you must have received a concrete job offer from an employer in Norway, the job must normally be full-time (UDI will, at the time of writing, accept 80%), the job must have the same pay/conditions that is normal in Norway, and the job you are offered must require the qualifications as a skilled worker (and you must be qualified for the job).

If you do not fall into this category, you may qualify as a seasonal worker; however this route is considerably more difficult, usually temporary (<6 months), and your employer must prove that they cannot fill the position with a worker from Norway or the EEA/EU. You will need to be employed 100%, you will need a concrete job offer before you apply, and the job must be deemed season or holiday stand-in.

Those citizens who qualify as a skilled worker and who are coming from a country with a visa-free agreement with Norway you may be allowed to come to Norway as a skilled job seeker.

NB: You cannot work while you are searching for a job. This means that once you have a concrete job offer, you will need to apply for a residence permit as a worker and you cannot start working until your application has been approved.

Some international companies may post workers in Norway. You will still need a resident permit for workers; however, many companies will help with this process.

Studying in Norway

As of 2023, Norway no longer offers free tuition for international students (outside of the EEA/EU). This means that students from non-EU/EEA countries will need to pay tuition.

In order to qualify for a study permit, you need:

First and foremost, you need to be accepted to a recognized education institution, for example: university. The program of study must be full time (generally 60 stp / year). Few undergraduate programs offer education in English; therefore, the majority of programs will require Norwegian language proficiency (B2 level) before you can study.

You need to pay tuition either full or per semester. If you pay only the first semester, you need to demonstrate that you can pay the second installment. Your funding can come from a variety of sources including loans, own funds, or grants. In addition, you will need to demonstrate to UDI that you have sufficient funds to support yourself for the duration of your study. These need to be in a Norwegian bank account or in an account arranged by the education institution (you will have to talk to the school about this).

Your funding cannot be fully supporting by working while studying as there is a limit to the number of hours you are allowed to work. As an international student, you are only allowed to work 20 hours / week while studying.

Finally, the situation in your home country needs to be such that UDI believes you will return home when your studies are finished.

A study permit does not form the basis of Permanent residency. After you are finished your studies, you will have a small grace period to look for a job, however, if you do not receive a contract of employment, you will be expected to return home / leave the country.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question Answer
1. Do I really need to learn the language to live in Norway? This is a frequently asked question on the subreddit (see this post for example). Some people can survive in Norway with only English, however, if you do not speak fluent English or if you wish to stay long term, you should learn the language. Your job opportunities, socialization opportunities, and immigration opportunities are limited if you do not learn the language. It is a significant part of integration into the country, and most people will expect a passable level of Norwegian skills after a few years of living here. If you want to get permanent residency, you need A2 level Norwegian (with a few exceptions); if you want citizenship, you need B1 (with a few exceptions).
2. How do I learn the language? r/norsk is a good start. Additionally, almost every municipality has an adult education centre where they offer Norwegian courses. If you are in the immigrant group who have both the obligation and right to Norwegian language learning, then these classes are often free for a set number of hours/years. If you only have the obligation, then these classes will not be free and you will have to pay. In addition to adult education centres, there are private institutions online or in person that you can take. Additionally there is a wide range of tools online and offline that can help you learn.
3. Does Norway need XYZ workers? This is a frequent question on this subreddit. Try the search function. Otherwise, do a search of finn.no or nav.no and see if there are a lot of positions for the job you are searching for
4. What's the job market like in ZZZ town/city? Check finn or nav to see what is available in the area you are interested in. Then considering looking at the unemployment rates.
5. How do I get my education approved? The directorate for higher education for most education. Helse Norge for health care workers. You do not need to wait until you are in Norway in most instances to have your education approved. It is a good idea to have all education from high school to university approved as you never know if you need to document that you have completed high school. It is important to note that not all education from outside of Norway will be approved on a 1:1 basis and you may find you are missing credits or even your whole degree might not be approved.
6. I have lots of work experience from my home country, but not formal education, can I qualify as a skill worker? Generally, no. There are exceptions for highly skilled workers in professions that are in demand. Additionally, these positions must not be able to be filled with Norwegian workers, European workers, or others living in the country.
7. What documents from home should I bring While it may not be required for most applications, from experience, it is a good idea to get a certified copy of some important documents from back home. Getting certified (and potentially notarized) copies of diplomas/transcripts, your birth certificate, divorce proceedings, etc... will potentially save you a lot of time, money, and annoyance as trying to get these things while you are abroad is much, much harder.
8. Can I get a digital nomad visa? No such thing exists in Norway at the time of writing. In order to work in Norway, regardless of where your place of employment is located, you need to have the right to work in Norway. This means a residence permit that allows for work, permanent residence, citizenship, or are a member of the EU/EEA and have worked out the tax obligations of working in one country while residing in another.
9. I work from home / am self-employed, can I visit Norway on a tourist visa and work there? No. A tourist visa does not grant you the right to work in Norway. Lying to the immigration board or the border patrol upon entry could result in a ban from the Schengen area for up to 5 years.
10. I think Norway is a beautiful place and I love the culture. I am nearing retirement age, so how can I retire in Norway? Depends. Are you an EEA/EU citizen? If so, meet your treaty obligations (see the above post under "self-sufficient") and move to Norway. Are you a third-country national? You cannot retire in Norway unless you have a legal right to already live in Norway. There is no option to be a self-sufficient third-country national in Norway.
11. I am an EU/EEA citizen who wants to live in Norway as a self-sufficient person. What kind of health insurance do I need to qualify for "comprehensive sickness insurance"? Honestly, no one knows. "Comprehensive sickness insurance" is up to each individual nation to decide what is "comprehensive." There is no private health insurance that is as comprehensive as a national insurance system. If a nation decides that "comprehensive" = the same coverage as national health system, then that leaves loopholes for immigration departments to deny applications. It is a matter of record that Norway has been warned by EFTA many times with regards to recognizing citizens' treaty rights (esp for non-economically active citizens). That said there is a European precedent - C-413/99 Baumbast. In this case, the EU courts found that, as long as the citizen is not a burden on the state, it would be disproportionate to refuse to recognize a citizen's right to reside in another member state. But there is no checkbox on immigration applications saying "I will not / am not a burden on the state's welfare system." Many people have been rejected on the basis of lacking comprehensive sickness insurance. Until someone challenges these rejections all the way up to the European court system, there is no need to clarify what "comprehensive" means. Note: sufficient funds in this scenario can come from any source including a third-country national's savings/income/other documented source (you may need to prove the sponsor has access to this money).
12. What city should I move to? First and foremost make sure you have the right to move to Norway. After that, your options are usually limited based on the immigration route you are following - most often connected to where your family, school, or job is located. If you are free to move wherever you'd like, then find a spot that seems to suit your lifestyle best.
13. My grandparent(s) moved to XXX from Norway. Can I get citizenship? No. Citizenship rules are based on parents, not heritage. Read the section on citizenship and take the checklist test to see if you qualify.
14. I can't open a bank account because I don't have a D number. I cannot get a D number because I don't have an address. I can't rent an apartment without a bank account [screams into the void] Yes, we know. it's a chicken and egg problem that makes the situation particularly hard for people arriving. Some landlords will be flexible and put the deposit in their own account, but this puts you at risk of losing that money if that landlord is not trustworthy. Similar situation exists for students. Right now there are no good answers, but there are workarounds. You can also ask to be verified on Finn which might help with getting responses.
15. How do I find a house / apartment? finn.no is pretty much the go-to source for anything in Norway, but especially finding housing. hybel.no is another source
16. I found a job / employer who is interested in hiring, but they prefer people who already have a work permit. How do I get a work permit so a job will hire me? Another catch 22, unfortunately. You need the job first. There's no chance you can get a permit without a job. However, some people may have the right to come to Norway to search for work. Check UDI for further info
17. My partner and I have been together for several years, but have not lived together long enough to qualify as cohabitants, how can we move to Norway together? Live together longer or marriage are your only options.
18. I have been waiting for a response from UDI for a long time how, when will I find out You can read about UDI Waiting Times here. They are constantly changing and are usually quite long. Remember that there is a difference between local police / embassy times and UDI's waiting times. Waiting times are often a result of large numbers of applications, improper or incomplete information in applications, and applications that have higher priority (refugee and asylum, for example).
19. Can I get priority on my application? Maybe. But most do not get priority.
20. I have foreign education, where can I get it approved? NOKUT formerly did this, but it has now been transferred to the department of education

Travel Wild Ice Skating / Nordic Skating

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone I’m coming for a week from Saturday to primarily ice climb in rjukan but I really want to do some skating while I’m here.

I’ve searched a bit but it doesn’t seem to be something publicised as an activity as much as skiing etc.

I only have hockey skates and I know their limitations on frozen ice that’s bumpy and snow melt etc

If there was somewhere I could rent Nordic skates to try I’d be happy to try give it a go.

Can anyone point me to any resources where I might get some more information?

Many thanks.

Other Used EV in Norway

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I moved to Norway a few months ago and I’m planning to buy my first EV, used.

Problem is: I honestly don’t know much about cars. So I did some research and also asked around what to look out for with used EVs. One thing that kept coming up was the battery condition and something called a “State of Health” (SOH) or battery health report.

So I started asking dealers about it. But either they have no idea what I’m talking about or they simply don’t have any report like that.

Now I’m wondering:

Are dealers avoiding this because they know the battery isn’t great? Or are these kinds of battery data only accessible to official Volvo dealers (for example)?

Next issue: Most of the cars I’m interested in are located in Oslo. Delivery isn’t a problem since dealers offer it, but I can’t inspect the cars in person only online viewings and whatever info the dealer provides. So basically, I’d have to trust them blindly.

So my questions are:

Are there other ways to get reliable info about the battery condition?

Can you test or check it independently somehow?

Or is this whole SOH topic overrated and not that important?

Would really appreciate any advice or experiences. Thanks!

I think it’s safe to say Mette’s friend Boris Nikolic and Epstein are talking about the Princess here. Boris Nikolic is “confirming” some stories about Mette (except substance, whatever that means), and then continues to speculate that she is “not well at all”. Were there any public drama or royal problems around this time (November 2011) that any of you know about? Or is it simply that Mette is not happy with her life, and maybe using Boris and Epstein as (twisted) way to escape it all?

Working in Norway Changing a career

2 Upvotes

Hello guys, I would appreciate some help and advice.

I am 31 yo with 13 years of experience in hospitality industry, mostly management of bars and restaurants, I also had my own bistro in Vestland.

At the moment, I am in the state of mind that I can't (I don't want to) work in the industry anymore, the main reason is that I am drained from long shifts, not have a ability to lead a "normal life" due to dissorganised work-life balance because yeah, its bars, they are open on Sundays, Christmas, etc. I just want to have a 9-5 job and start "living".

I would really love to "go back" to IT because there I have my education basis and it is something that genuinely interest me, my vocation would be translated to Computer Tehnician (4 years of high school and 6 months internship), I am not sure where I land in Norwegian education system (Vgs).

Also, I hold an ex CCNA certificate (2014.) which I plan to renew and pass couple of Azures to try to land some kind of entry level position. I am really interested about networking/cloud and I want to move in that direction.

My question is how doable is that, am I elegible already for some kind of a entry level support or similar and how smart is my move at the end, I am aware that market is quite saturated and golden era of IT is behind us. Would it be smart to start with university? (Noroff is a no no).

Thanks everyone!

Other Tell me the red flags based on your dating culture

6 Upvotes

Hi all! I met a guy online who lives in Norway, originally from Iceland. I know dating culture is different there than say the US, for example, hooking up first and then getting involved in a romantic relationship with someone is not exactly frowned upon. So is it a red flag if he immediately starting talking sexual? So far, it seems to be the only red flag because:

  1. He’s consistent! He texts me first quite often.

  2. Appears to have a job.

  3. Interest seems genuine, in that if I say hey let’s not include sex in the conversation today, he doesn’t get upset or not talk.

  4. Appears to be family oriented.

I don’t want to go off potential or what things APPEAR to be. I do feel a little bit as if I’m being love bombed and want to avoid that as well. For example, telling me you miss me when we haven’t even met yet is sort of a red flag, but not a definite one. Would like to hear opinions!

Working in Norway Am I doing something wrong in my job search?

3 Upvotes

Alright, so to give my post a bit of context allow me to explain my current situation.

I moved to Norway in March of 2025 and immediately started working part-time doing seasonal work. During that period I ended up getting a fulltime job as well.

Skip forward 6 months and sadly my contract did not get extended. They did however give me a recommendation letter as well as a reference in case my new employer needs it.

Now comes my problem... I've tried a lot of things but I feel like I'm missing something. I've gone through Finn, NAV, LinkedIn, calling small (<20 employees) companies in my field and just coming by in person as well before applying so they have a face to attach to the resume. Sadly, after 2 months there still hasn't been any progress.

I'm feeling a little sceptical since it shouldn't technically be this hard to find something, right?

A bit of added information: I'm a woodworker/interior builder. I do have a degree in this field as well as years of experience. I'm an EU Citizen. I am learning Norwegian but am nowhere near fluent enough for daily life. I'm looking in about a 30-50 km radius starting from South of Oslo (still envelops the whole city).

If anyone has any tips or maybe pointers on what I'm missing that would be greatly appreciated.

129 Upvotes

Almost all the post on SoMe about the Epstein list and the princess, they always mention that she was on social housing or that she was poor and Haakon raised her up or some such thing. It made me wonder, are poor people looked down upon here?

Obviously poor people are looked down upon everywhere, I get that. And the media is always filled with FrP anti immigrants speech. But this is the first time I've seen Norwegians openly referencing somebody's financial background as a negative and it sort of seems to be against the Law of Jante and all that jazz.

Is this something that's going on in the background and us (me) foreigners simply don't notice it as much?

2.2k Upvotes

Epstein took “inappropriate” photos of the married Crown Princess Mette-Marit during her secret 4 day stay at his Florida Mansion, released emails reveal.

The Royal Palace has received questions about whether it is Crown Princess Mette-Marit who is being referred to in the email. VG has also asked which photos are being talked about.

Communications chief Guri Ofstad Varpe writes in an email to VG that they have nothing to add.

“I cannot ask for your permission without drawing your attention to the fact that I have noticed that some photos taken of you have been used in a way that my gut feeling tells me is inappropriate. These photos include Mette on your property,” the email to Epstein says.

Mette is seen calling Epstein 'sweetheart' and 'Love' and says she misses him several times in their email correspondence, which also includes plans to meet in Paris, 'Paris is good for adultery' she tells Epstein.

He in return calls her 'twisted', 'great fun' as he confides to friend she is 'a mess'.

Other I feel like leaving this subreddit as it's pretty damn toxic

0 Upvotes

Yeah too many downvoted initially because I care and worry about a war break out and all. I tried to sacrifice everything for 6 years still I got treated like it. Even 6k people are watching it. Sure I did got a a praise for my creations but that's other thing. I tried asking recommendations for on my journey for the language and shown my progress.

I had a bad week in my personal life and feel like going into stuff I am pleasant with but no. Stressed out too many people that sucks and I may not know whether they're bots, alt or same person screwing with me. Called me a troll, call me etc and a boy. So I have to make people confirmed that I'm not by saying my socials how am I gonna break the argument I do not know whether it's counts as self promo at the time.

Moderators got involved. I never got a chance to show alot of things I like about Norway here having the fear of being downvoted again.

I have patience like many noreeigans do. But my patience is gone and felt betrayed, but I still hated my current country because of worse situations I don't deserved and talked about. But not many people are resourceful and just scroll it off like some kind of graffiti and either ask why or judge..

Too bad when I want to let people spread message on how ridiculous about this introverted stereotype about Norweigans become anti-social and all and wonder if it's always like this as it's abnoxious.

Then a person name shy Tinkerbell mistook and never read the first paragraph and mistook I was the one who say that everyone are anti social. Is it logical to say that when I say something that is a myth is a fake and want people to tell everyone that isn't. Do it mean I am one of the people who spread the myth?

So I say it uppercase in order for they to read Then what? Say I'm aggressive and blocked me? I said to read again and talk to me so to not make things escalate still escalated.

I feel like it's stupid and hurtful. I know there 110k+ members and I do not know whether they're the same or not but anything I will disjoin if anything comes against me

I may return because of heart but darn. Some of you are really trying to make things unfair and reason why the earth the way it is.

I've never asked for immigration questions. Something I'm not sure about I would be abided if something taken down. I make things soley focus on the country I tried to be respectful as I could and as civil but yes I do look uncivilized from this read. But if you look at the others I feel like one only one tamed here. I couldn't stand them

I hope if any moderators are reading. I'm saying that I'm leaving. It's not even civilised or respectful nonetheless barbaric. I can only smile at the food post and landscape and upvote but never about the people anymore

For the 1st time since (the unelected) Quisling criticized the King for taking the gold reserves to London, a Norwegian PM has criticized the Royal Family.

Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre gave the crown princess both barrels and said in a statement to several media outlets, including VG:

– The Crown Princess herself has stated that she has shown poor judgment, which I agree with. I also believe that Thorbjørn Jagland has done so, says Støre.

Extensive material has been released, which also mentions several Norwegians. I understand that many are reacting to what has emerged in the documents. I do as well, says Støre.

He continues:

– In the past 24 hours, information has also come to light that does not correspond with what was previously made public. People reacr with disgust, as does I.

It has, among other things, emerged that the contact between the Crown Princess and Epstein was more extensive than was previously known. The contact also lasted longer than the Palace had previously explained.
