Person who is getting married

Please note! It is not a requirement for getting married in Norway that you have exactly this type of residence permit. You can get married in Norway as long as you have legal stay.

You must both be at least 24 years old.
You are going to get married in Norway within six months.
Neither of you can be married to other people.
You must have plans to live together in Norway.
You must not have been forced to get engaged (forced marriage).
Your engagement must be genuine, i.e. not an engagement of convenience /proforma engagement.

You must document your identity. A valid passport is usually valid proof of identity.

It must be likely that you will return to your home country if you do not get married as planned.
If your application is granted, you must apply for a renewal of your family immigration permit with your spouse before your residence permit for getting married expires.

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.)

You must have an income of at least
NOK 334 876 per year pre-tax
. This amount is adjusted in May each year, but this is the applicable amount if you apply now. You must have this amount of income the first year your family member receives a permit in Norway. In addition, you must have had at least this income last year and during the time we process the application. Please check the income requirements, what kind of income that counts and whether you can be exempted from any of the requirements.
