You must print out this checklist, fill it in, and bring it with you when you hand in the application documents.
Underneath is a list of the documents you need to submit when you apply for family immigration. Some of the documents you the applicant have to get and others the reference person need to get.
The signature form is the attachment you received via email when you registered your application online. Please print it and bring it with you. If you are handing in your application at a Danish embassy, please bring a filled-out application form instead. (www.udi.no/forms)
You can use this form Form for granting Power of Attorney, pdf, 710 kB (pdf, 199 kB) (www.udi.no/forms) or the form you received by email when you registered your application in the Application Portal.
Fill in the Declaration of relationship form (pdf, 616 kB) (www.udi.no/forms)
The UDI does not have a special form for this. The agreement you sign must contain information about who the child is living with on a permanent basis, who is going to have access with the child, and when and how the access will be carried out. If you need help to write a contact visit agreement, you can contact family counselling (familievernkontor).
"Access" normally means that the child, as a minimum, stays with the parent who has access one afternoon a week, every other weekend, two weeks during the summer holidays and for Christmas or Easter.
You must have an income of at least
NOK 396 890 per year pre-tax
, documented by a statement of support from the State Education Loan Fund (Lånekassen), a bank statement from your account in a Norwegian bank, or a detailed work contract for any part time work you do and pay slips.
Not relevant if he or she has a permanent residence permit or Norwegian citizenship.
When you apply for family immigration for the first time, you normally have to document that the person in Norway (the sponsor) can support you financially.
When you apply for a renewal, the rules are as follows:
If you have family immigration with a foreign national who has a residence permit as a worker or student in Norway you must always hand in documentation of income when you apply for a renewal.
When you apply for a renewal for the first time, we will check that the reference person has fulfilled the income requirement since you came to Norway. (This does not apply if you were exempted from the income requirement when you were granted the permit.)
We will electronically access information about the reference person’s income from the Tax authorities. If we need more documentation, you will receive a letter regarding this.
There is no requirement for future income.
