I have held a residence permit based on having sufficient funds. How do I document this when I apply?
You are required to provide documentation showing that you have had enough money to live in Norway for the last five years. You cannot have received financial social assistance or benefits from Norwegian authorities. You can document that you have had sufficient funds by uploading:
- bank statements, confirmations, or annual statements from your bank showing that you have had enough money in your account, or
- bank statements showing regular deposits into your account, in addition to documentation of the source of these funds, or
- documentation showing that you have received a pension from your home country, or
- documentation showing your spouse’s or cohabitant’s income in Norway.
This list is not exhaustive. When completing your application, you will also receive a checklist with suggested documents you can upload to show that you have had sufficient funds.
Once you have completed the application, you will receive an email from the police with instructions on how to upload the documents. It is also possible to forward documents to UDI later.
