The change will apply to those who register the application for family immigration and pay the fee as of 1 February 2025.

The amounts are adjusted annually with a changed basic amount (G) (external website). The income requirement for future income is adjusted in May, and the income requirement for last year is adjusted in January.

If you register your application for family immigration and pay the fee as of 1 February 2025, the income requirement is:

  • Future income: 396 890 NOK
  • Income last year: 2.7 average G if we process the application before 1 February 2026, and 3.2 average G if we process the application 1 February 2026 or later.

If you registered your family immigration application and paid the fee before 1 February 2025, the income requirement is unchanged:

  • Future income: 334 876 NOK
  • Income last year: 330 008 NOK

The income requirement for those who have an income requirement upon renewal is still 334 876 NOK for future income and 330 008 NOK for income last year, if you applied for the first family immigration application before 1 February 2025.

The amounts are adjusted annually with a changed basic amount. The income requirement for future income is adjusted in May, and the income requirement for last year is adjusted in January.

If the reference person receives a retirement pension or disability benefits, there are no changes.
