Spouse or registered partner
Please note!
If you were granted a residence permit for the purpose of marriage (a "fiancé(e) permit"), and you are now married, you are required to apply for renewal of your family immigration permit with your spouse.
Requirements for both
- Your marriage/partnership must have been validly entered into.
- You must have plans to live together in Norway.
- You must not have been forced to marry (forced marriage).
- Your marriage must not be circumvention marriage.
- You must be at least 24 years old.
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.
Requirements for the reference person
- You must have one of these types of residence permits:
- a permanent residence permit (formerly known as settlement permit)
- a valid residence permit that forms the basis for a permanent residence permit, for example a residence permit for protection, most types of family immigration permits, or a residence permit for self-employed persons with a company in Norway. (You can check in the decision you received from the UDI whether your residence permit forms the basis for a permanent residence permit.)
- a valid residence permit that forms the basis for family immigration, for example most types of family immigration permits, a residence permit for employees in international or foreign companies or a residence permit for a researcher with own funds. (You can check in the decision you received from the UDI whether your residence permit forms the basis for family immigration.)
- You must have an income of at least
NOK 334 876 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.
