Additional documents for some applicants
If you wish to renew a permit on the basis of marriage or cohabitation
Fill in the Declaration of relationship form (pdf, 616 kB) (www.udi.no/forms)
If you wish to renew a permit on the basis of contact visits with children in Norway
The UDI does not have a special form for this. The agreement you sign must contain information about who the child is living with on a permanent basis, who is going to have access with the child, and when and how the access will be carried out. If you need help to write a contact visit agreement, you can contact family counselling (familievernkontor).
"Access" normally means that the child, as a minimum, stays with the parent who has access one afternoon a week, every other weekend, two weeks during the summer holidays and for Christmas or Easter.
If the person you apply for family immigration with has a permit for studies in Norway
You must have an income of at least
NOK 320 274 per year pre-tax
, documented by a statement of support from the State Education Loan Fund (Lånekassen), a bank statement from your account in a Norwegian bank, or a detailed work contract for any part time work you do and pay slips.
If the person you apply for family immigration with has a temporary residence permit for work in Norway
Not relevant if he or she has a permanent residence permit or Norwegian citizenship.
If you have submitted the application after your former residence permit has expired
Do you need to document income when you apply for a renewal?
When you apply for family immigration for the first time, you normally have to document that the person in Norway (the sponsor) can support you financially.
When you apply for a renewal, the rules are as follows:
Those who have family immigration with a foreign national who has a residence permit as a worker or student in Norway
If you have family immigration with a foreign national who has a residence permit as a worker or student in Norway you must always hand in documentation of income when you apply for a renewal.
Other types of applicants
When you apply for a renewal for the first time, we will check that the reference person has fulfilled the income requirement since you came to Norway. (This does not apply if you were exempted from the income requirement when you were granted the permit.)
We will electronically access information about the reference person’s income from the Tax authorities. If we need more documentation, you will receive a letter regarding this.
There is no requirement for future income.
