What is an entry visa (D-visa)?
The D-visa is an entry visa for spouses (and any children under 18 years of age spouses have in common) who wish to travel to Norway while waiting for a response, or before applying for family immigration.
To be eligible for such a visa, it must be beyond doubt that your application for family immigration will be approved. For example, you must fulfil all the requirements for a family immigration permit. Even if all requirements are met, not all D-visa applications are approved. If you are going to apply for a D-visa, you can read more information about this to see who is eligible for an entry visa.
In most cases, it will be difficult to know beforehand whether an application for family immigration can be granted.
