If you are from a country outside the EU/EEA and the family member in Norway is an EU/EEA national, you can apply for a residence card for family members of EU/EEA nationals.
If you are a student, self-employed, or live in Norway with sufficient funds, you must show that you are able to support the both of you.

You must have a private health insurance
You must document that you have insurance covering health services for the period of stay in Norway until you get married. This means that the insurance must cover all expenses caused by illness, and it must also cover treatment due to other health conditions you may have. When you stay in Norway as a fiancé, you must be financially independent, and you are thus not entitled to free health care in Norway.
Where do you buy insurance?
The UDI cannot recommend where you buy your insurance. Several insurance companies offer international health insurance. Suppose you choose an insurance that does not cover expenses for follow-up or treatment of a chronic illness you already have or pregnancy and childbirth. In that case, you must cover costs related to this yourself when you are in Norway.
Residence card
After the marriage has taken place, you must apply for a residence card for an EU/EEA national spouse.
If you are a student, self-employed, or live in Norway with sufficient funds, you must show that you are able to support the both of you.
Because one or both parents are citizen of an EU/EEA country, you do not need to apply for a residence permit, but you must register the child with the police or apply for a residency card for the child. This applies also if the child is born in Norway and has a Norwegian personal number.
There is no deadline for registering your child/applying for a residency card for children under the EU/EEU regulations. UDI reccomends that you register your child as soon as they have a passport.
The applicant (your child) must meet at the police station/ foreign mission. It is sufficent that one of the parents follow the child, if the other parent sign the application and the passports of both parents are attached.
