Can I apply for a 9-month residence permit to visit children in Norway while in Norway on a 3-month visitor visa?

Yes, you may hand in an application in Norway as long as your visitor visa is valid. If you apply while in Norway, the 9-month period will commence on the date you previously entered Norway or another Schengen country, not on the date when your residence permit is granted.
