Want to renew Au pair


It is important to apply for renewal well in advance of your residence permit expiring if you wish to retain all your rights. You must also apply for renewal if you wish to change host families.

What you need to do

  1. Three months before your residence permit expires you should register your application and book an appointment with the police. There may be several weeks waiting time.
  2. No later than one month before your residence permit expires you must go to the police at the time you have booked and hand in your documents. The application will not be submitted until you have done this. 

You will then have the same rights as before relating to work, studies, etc. while you are waiting for us to decide on your application. You will retain these rights until you have received an answer to your application, even if your residence permit expires in the meantime. 

Even if you have applied in time, you may have trouble travelling in and out of Norway while waiting for your new permit. This is because you do not have a valid residence card. Without a valid residence card, you can be stopped in border control in other countries. You may also have trouble getting into Norway again when you return.
