The purpose of this permit is to enable you to get married in Norway. The permit is valid for six months. You must live with your fiancé in Norway during this period. If you do not get married in the course of six months, you must leave Norway.
After you have married, you must apply for family immigration with your spouse to be able to stay in Norway. You must apply for family immigration prior to the expiry of your fiancé permit, and you can stay in Norway while your application is being processed.
You are not entitled to free Norwegian tuition while you are in Norway on a fiancé permit. You can read more about your entitlements and obligations on the WebPages of the Directorate of Integration and Diversity (IMDi)
You can travel into and out of Norway for as long as the fiancé permit is valid, and you can also work here.
You can apply for a fiancé permit if the person you are going to marry is a Norwegian citizen or lives in Norway and holds a permanent residence permit (settlement permit) or a residence permit that forms the basis for a permanent residence permit.
Your children cannot apply for family reunification with you while you are in Norway on a fiancé permit, as this permit does not constitute grounds for family reunification.
If you are going to marry an EEA-citizen with a right of residence in Norway, you can apply for a fiancé permit. The fiance’s right of residence is only valid for 6 months and it must be likely that marriage will be entered into in this period. However, if you are an EEA national yourself, you can stay in Norway without a permit for up to three months or up to six months if you are seeking employment. You can get married in the course of such a stay in Norway.
