Parent of a child who is under 18 and lives in Norway
Please note
If you are married or you plan to live together with your child's other parent, you cannot apply for this type of family immigration. You must then apply for family immigration with your spouse or cohabitant instead.
You must also meet one of the following four requirements:
You have parental responsibility for a Norwegian child, and the child is living with you on a permanent basis.
You have had a residence permit in Norway for the last year. You have shared parental responsibility for the child, have access rights with the child, and are going to continue to have access rights with the child in Norway. 'Access rights' normally means that the child, as a minimum, stays with you one afternoon a week, every other weekend, two weeks during the summer holidays and for Christmas or Easter.
