Procedures to follow:
You must contact the closest Norwegian embassy and start the
application process for a residence permit for studies.
To get this permit, you will need to supply the letter of acceptance
that was sent by the Norwegian university (this must be recognized
by the Norwegian authorities) for the pursuit of full-time studies
and specifying the contents of the anticipated course. The applicant
must prove that they have sufficient financial resources to provide
for their needs. Equally, one must supply a Norwegian address
of residence for the duration of the studies. (It is therefore
necessary to contact the international students office in advance
to get accommodation).
You must return to your country once your studies in Norway have
finished, and to prove this you must show that you have a return
ticket or at least the financial means to pay for one.
In addition you will need to supply a valid passport at the time
of your application and your arrival into Norway. Only citizens
of Scandinavian countries do not need to fulfill this obligation.
Two to four months are necessary to receive a residence permit.
If you get one, you will receive a seven day visa that will allow
you to re-enter Norwegian territory.
Note: Norway is part of the Schengen agreement, everybody who
has received a visa for one of the member countries can stay in
Norway for six months without having to re-apply for a visa.
