New application form
The Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI) is publishing new application forms in English language for you applying for a permit for work, residence, family immigration and studies, or travel documents.
There are no new application forms for asylum, visa or citizenship.
- We are pleased to launch more user-friendly application forms, says Karl Erik Sjøholt, Head of Department of Managed Migration, UDI.
- The forms are significant for both applicants and case managers, and are an important part of UDI’s work to improve service for users, says Sjøholt.
The reason for publishing new application forms has been to reduce the number of forms, and to make them easier to use. The language is easy to understand, but has kept the level of precision necessary for the authorities to receive sufficient and correct information for the case processing.
Information on attachments that needs to be enclosed wit the application, and how the application needs to be completed, is also improved. This has led to the new forms being longer than the previous forms, while applicants need to give the same amount of information as previously.
The application forms are available at UDI’s webpage, and may be completed electronically. The forms still need to be printed and signed by hand before they are submitted at the appropriate location. We encourage everyone to complete the forms carefully so that the case processing may be carried out quickly.
We advise that you can complete the forms using Adobe Reader, but if you want to save information in the forms on your computer you need Adobe Professional. We are therefore working to prepare the forms in word-format as well.
There are also some errors with the functionality in some of the forms, but we are working to improve this aspect.
The application forms will be evaluated in connection with the new Immigration Act in 2010.
Comments and questions regarding the forms may be sent to UDI via
