Parent (and siblings) of a child who are under 18 and lives in Norway
Please note
If you are married or you plan to live together with your child's other parent, you cannot apply for this type of family immigration. You must then apply for family immigration with your spouse or cohabitant instead.
You must also meet one of the following three requirements:
Your child has been granted protection (asylum) in Norway. You have sole or joint parental responsibility for the child. You live with the child in Norway (The child's siblings may also apply together with you, if they are under the age of 18).
You have had a residence permit in Norway for the last year. You have shared parental responsibility for the child, have access rights with the child, and are going to continue to have access rights with the child in Norway. 'Access rights' normally means that the child, as a minimum, stays with you one afternoon a week, every other weekend, two weeks during the summer holidays and for Christmas or Easter.
You have had a residence permit in Norway for the last year, and the child is living with you on a permanent basis. The child's other parent lives in Norway and has access rights with the child and shared parental responsibility. 'Access rights' normally means that the child, as a minimum, stays with the other parent one afternoon a week, every other weekend, two weeks during the summer holidays and for Christmas or Easter.
Requirements for the reference person
You must have one of these types of residence permits:
a permanent residence permit (formerly known as settlement permit)
a valid residence permit that forms the basis for a permanent residence permit, for example a residence permit for protection, most types of family immigration permits, or a residence permit for self-employed persons with a company in Norway. (You can check in the decision you received from the UDI whether your residence permit forms the basis for a permanent residence permit.)
a valid residence permit that forms the basis for family immigration, for example most types of family immigration permits, a residence permit for employees in international or foreign companies or a residence permit for a researcher with own funds. (You can check in the decision you received from the UDI whether your residence permit forms the basis for family immigration.)
