Visit your spouse or cohabitant


Requirements for a visa

How your application is considered

  • When we process your application, we consider how probable it is that you will return to your home country or the country you live in when the visit is over. We consider the situation in your country and your own situation.
  • We will focus on whether you have anything that ties you to your home country, for example work, property, a spouse or family members who you are supporting.
  • If we believe that it is unlikely that you will return, your application will normally be rejected. 

Your possibility of getting a visa

  • If you plan to visit your spouse or cohabitant, you will normally be granted a visa.
  • When we consider whether to grant you a visa, we take into account how long you have been together and how much contact you have had.
  • If you have a special reason for visiting Norway, for example that your spouse or cohabitant is expecting a child, you have a better chance of being granted a visa.
