Understanding the Visa
What is the Norway Study Visa?
This is a Norwegian Student Residence Permit — a long-term visa allowing you to stay in Norway for the duration of your academic program, processed through UDI (the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration). It's ideal for:
Undergraduate and postgraduate study
Research-driven programs
Engineering, business, and economics degrees
Training, research, or internship programs (separate document set)
Proof of Funds
NOK 123,519 per Year (~€12,000)
Your bank statements or sponsorship letter need to show this amount for the year, covering tuition and living expenses.
DOCUMENT CHECKLIST

Valid passport (at least 6 months beyond your intended departure)
Two recent passport photos (whole-face, light background)

Proof of Finances
Bank statements or sponsorship letter
NOK 123,519 per year (~€12,000), covering tuition and living expenses
Training, Research & Internship (Alternative)

THE APPLICATION
Why Norway Study Visa applications get delayed
Study visas take longer to process than visit visas — here's what we check for to avoid adding further delays.
1
Wrong Document Set for Your Program Type
Training, research, and internship applicants need a different document set than standard degree applicants.
2
Insufficient Financial Proof
Your bank statement or sponsorship letter needs to clearly show NOK 123,519 (~€12,000) for the year.
3
Missing Health Insurance (Short Stays)
If your program is under 12 months, health insurance is mandatory — longer stays access the National Insurance Scheme instead.
4
Missing Tuition Payment Proof
You'll need proof of your first year's tuition payment, or scholarship confirmation.
