Type of visa to apply

Hello there

I hope this could help you on your way:)

The entry visa (know as D-visa) is a visa allowing you to enter Norway and gives you 7 days to apply for the family reunification visa when you arrive.

In other words it allows you to enter and live in Norway whilst you are waiting for UDI to grant you a family reunification permit.

The decision as to whether you qualify for the entry/D-visa is entirely up to your local Embassy and if you qualify on their grounds. I wouldn't not apply just because somebody else hasn't been successful.

Good luck.

i just wanna know if it really take that long for a family reunification visa to be granted? and is it sure enough that you are going to get it?

Yes, it can really take that long.

No, it is not sure that you will get it.

Main concerns of UDI are:

Does your Norwegian spouse have accommodation i.e rental or own property.

How much money does the Norwegian spouse earn - has to be over Kr 210 000 pr annum.

My husband is currently in South Africa. It took 2 weeks to issue him with the entry visa. I showed salary slips for the past 6 months and employment contract and my bank account balance. Also included the lease for the house I have rented. We also have children which strengthens the case.

Do it right and it does not take too long. Do it wrong and it is a nightmare.

well so far our case is on its 5th month this month. and i think we meet all the requirements. at first it was entry visa that we were suppossed to apply but then someone at the police station told my husband that we should apply for the family reunification cause its more safer there. it's frustrating but sometimes can't do anything but just wait. i just wish we could atleast know like maybe a time frame or something.

Yip - once it's in the system you just have to wait it out.

Good luck - I hope it all works out and doesn't take too long.

yah that's what were both hoping aswell. i just wish i could be there in time for his birthday.(which is on november) and it's hard being apart but as what they say "patience is a virtue" hehe thank anyway.
