  • Apply for a residence permit, and visa, if applicable. You apply before you come to Norway, after you have the required documentation and no later than 30 June.
  • Register your application online: Application Portal Norway (udi.no) .

  • When asked "where are you applying from" choose "Outside Norway".

  • You must register with the police after arrival. Book your appointment in the application portal .

  • Bilateral exchange students from visa exempted countries (udi.no)  do not need to transfer money. Use the letter "Confirmation to the UDI".
  • EU/EEA students do not need to document their finances.

You can either transfer the required amount to a Norwegian bank account in your own name if this is applicable, or deposit the amount in the SiO Residence Permit Deposit Account for international students .
