They usually require it coz if you dont have it they will make you pay. But maybe you can show them a printed copy of your visa approval so you can tell them that you are a legal resident waiting for your nummer.

When you handed in your application they were supposed to email you letting you know that they have received your application. That email will have your DUF number on it!

Like what i said earlier they will need you're fødselnummer because it will show in their system that you are elligible for the free course.

So if you dont have it yet they might not let you enroll for free.

I already have fodselnumber but still I'm not listed in their system they are asking for my DUF number . My DUF number here is the application of fiancée visa. I arrived here in Norway June then we got married July then we bring the marriage contract to the politi that is the first time I go to politi since I arrived in Norway. Then after one week I received my residence permit and it will expire January 2017. Do I need to renew it now to have DUF number or I can use this DUF number from the fiancé visa application?

That is a bit odd to have the number but not to be in the system, and i haven't experienced being asked about my DUF.

Usually after you get your residence card you will go to skatteetaten to register yourself as an official resident here in norway. And after 5 days to some weeks they will send you a letter with your personnummer. And that is the only number that banks, schools or hospitals ask for.

Maybe try bringing the letter you received from skatteetaten . If not, the best way is to ask them how long do you have to wait or call skatteetaten also and ask them why EVO doesn't find you in the system when you were enrolling for the class.

Hello everyone,
I need some directives on applying for the D-visa. I submitted my application to UDI and updated when we got married last month on the site. Now I wish to apply for the D-visa and I was told by the Danish Embassy which handles visas on behalf of The Norwegian embassy here that I need to get an approval to issue the D visa from UDI in Norway before they can issue it here in Malaysia.
My question is - how should my husband go about getting the approval letter from UDI?
thanks for your anticipated help.

Hi Nadkiz007. Thanks for your reply. But maybe my question was not well understood. I applied for fiancé permit in January 2016, while waiting for the application, we got married this July in Malaysia. But I need to apply for D visa while we are still waiting for the outcome of the permit (which we have updated to spouse with the submission of our marriage certificate). Danish embassy in Malaysia which handles visa for Norway has requested that I get an approval for them to issue me a D visa from UDI. Approval for D visa must come from UDI. My question is how do I go about applying for the D visa from UDI?
thanks.

I would call UDI and ask them. Either the Danish Embassy isn't aware of the way it works or the rules are different because the Danish embassy is representing Norway.

When i changed mine i used MinID (where you use your personnummer) not bank id. As for the instructions i don't remember how i did it exactly but you can read about MinID here MinID, i suggest just keep reading and checking the options there in the website.

In order to get a Personnummer you have to have a residence permit for Norway. A fiancé permit is not good enough because that is only valid for 6 months. You can get a D - number if you have a fiancé permit but you have to have a permit valid for at least a year in order to get a Personnummer

You cannot renew a fiancé permit. It is valid for only 6 months and after 6 months you have to be married and you have to apply for a spouse permit. If you do not do this before 6 months then you have to leave Norway.

While i was here on a tourist visa i applied for fiance visa. But it has taken 5 months still no result and someone advised us why not get married if UDI allows it, so that it will be just a one time waiting. So we got a permission from UDI to get married even if i have no visa coz the tourist visa expired already. Then got married and sent the marriage contract to UDI and called them to shift the application from fiance to family reuni under spouse. Then it got approved on the 11th month.

This was also done by another pinay here which was in the same situation as yours. She appliad for fiance visa while in the Philippines but they decided to get married and changed the application. And it worked the same.

I don't see any problem why they will not give you a tourist visa. As along as you follow the 90 days within 180 days rule.

All i can say is that when switching from tourist visa to other visas while inside Norway, you must remember the criteria(for me i was allowed because i am a skilled worker) Not everyone are allowed to do this, so i suggest check it in the customizable UDI website(want to apply). Also when you are here in Norway ask your bf or you can call the politi in your area here in Norway to ask if they will allow you.

There are some here who has d the same situation as you and some of them got approved, while some was sent home and was asked to apply from there. Some are allowed to apply here but were sent home to wait for the result there. No one can guarantee whether you will be allowed or not.

Regarding your pregnancy affecting your application, it will always depend on udi/whoever will make the decision. There is someone who did what you are planning, she travelled to Norway when she was around 7 months and changed her visa from tourist to family reunification/spouse visa.

Regarding the criteria you can read it here:

Hi to those who renewed their passport in Philippine Embassy in Oslo, after your new passport was released did u send the old passport before they send u the new one? Or did u have to wait for the new passport to arrive first before sending the old one? I'm a bit confused. I hope someone can answer this. thank you so much.

When you see your name on the list of passport release on the embassy website, that is when you should sen the old one to them.

When they receive your old passport they will punch holes on it and send it back to you together with the new one.

Ahh, I see. Did they contact you when they receive the old passport? Or you just waited until they send the new one? Thank you so much stephy. You're very helpful.
