Hi there, I am a student in Hong Kong studying Higher Diploma in Marketing. I'll be graduating in June and want to continue my bachelor degree in Oslo.
I'd like to ask about the procedure of being granted a student permit. I'm aware that I need to prove I have NOK111 657 for my living cost. I'm wondering if it's a must to deposit that amount of money to the school account from the start? I'm asking because I know my living expenses won't cost as much since I'll be staying with my boyfriend and he will help provide for me while I study (and I will try to get a part time job as well while I'm there). Thus, I'm wondering if I can provide some sort of sponsor letter or a guarantee form instead as prove of financial abilities?
Thank you for your help!
