FAQ

Requirements for visiting Norway are determined by both citizenship and duration of stay. To find out about the specific requirements for a particular country of origin, please visit the website of the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI) >

On the UDI website, fellows should select ‘Want to apply’, enter the country of origin, and then choose ‘Work immigration’. Next, select ‘Vocational training and research’ and then ‘Researcher with own funds’. Fellows should find all the information they need regarding requirements, rights, and obligations under this tab. Click on the green button labelled ‘How to apply’ for more information.

CAS knows that some countries encourage long term visitors to come to Norway on a 90-day tourist visa, and to start the application process after arriving in Norway. Please note that fellows may be asked to provide an original copy of their birth certificate and a college or above diploma with the paperwork for this application. We encourage our fellows to check with the UDI which documentation they will need to provide before arriving in Oslo.

If you need any assistance in the process, please contact UDI. If that does not help, contact Kristin Løyning Reyes or Rune Flaten.
