How do EU/EEA nationals and their family members stay in Norway legally?
As a main rule, an EU/EEA national has right of residence in Norway for up to three months, for example for visits and holidays. In order to have this right, the EU/EEA national must have a valid identity card or passport and not be an unreasonable burden for the public welfare system.
An EU/EEA national may also have the right of residence in Norway for more than three months. In order to have this right, the EU/EEA national must have a valid identity card or passport and be either employed, self-employed, a posted worker, a student or have enough funds to support themselves.
Family members of an EU/EEA national have right of residence in Norway for more than three months if the EU/EEA national has right of residence as described above. The condition for this is that the family members move to Norway together with the EU/EEA national, or are reunited with the EU/EEA national in Norway.
