Person who is getting married
For applicants from your country, it may be difficult to be granted an application for family immigration in order to get married. This is because the UDI decides whether it is likely that you will return to your home country if you do not get married as planned. It is more likely that your application for family immigration will be granted if you get married first.
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.
Requirements for both
- 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.
Requirements for the applicant
- You must pay an application fee.
- You must document your identity. A valid passport is usually valid proof of identity.
- You must not be subject to a prohibition against entry to Norway or Schengen.
- 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.
Requirements for the reference person
- You must have an income of at least
NOK 436 957 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.
- You must have a home.
