If you aspire to study in Norway, here’s how you can get a Student Visa for Norway:
 

1. UDI student visa system
 

To start your study overseas journey, first, log on to The Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI) website. You would need to check if your country is eligible for Student Visa status.
 

The UDI student visa system tells you your eligibility for the Student Visa.
 

It also tells you if you can work during your studies. If so, how many hours you can work per week.
 

You can know the requirements of the Student Visa through the UDI system.
 

The website will also let you know the processing time of your student permit.
 

You can also apply for the Student Visa online and track the status through the UDI student visa system.
 

2. Student Visa renewal

The UDI student visa system also lets you renew your student permit online.
 

The website guides you through the renewal process. You may also track the status of your application.
 

The requirements for renewing your Student Visa are as below:
 

* You need to pay the application fee
