Family visa

I don't understand your question.  do you mean how long you can stay out of norway if you are granted family visa?

I mean if I have been granted the visa, can I travel automatically out of Norway?

yes, if you have been granted the visa, you can of course travel out of norway for personal reason.

but there is a limit of how long you can be out of Norway cummulative, if you plan to renew or apply for new visa.

I cannot find the exact details but when I want to apply for permanent residence, they tried to track my travel to ensure that I am not out of the country for more than 180 days (cummulative) out of 3 years.  If I am out due to work purposes, I need to provide a letter from my employer to prove that.

Hello Fornigt,

Thanks a lot.

Please ,  do you have an idea of the waiting time?

Yes!

Waiting time for permanent residency varies depending on where you come from.  For me, who is from Singapore, I was told approx 3 to 4 months.  I have heard of others who waited for 1 year.

Note that you need to fulfill new requirements now to be qualify to apply permanent residency.  It is much stricter now....example need to pass A1 test for oral and for people holding family unification as 1st valid visa, you need to meet min income (not including husband, it must be your own income) to qualify.

The good thing about permanent residency is once you get it, you don't have to pay renewal fee for future.

Thanks!
