Applying as a nurse in Norway, anyone else?

@michayganda, thats also what i read, they are not only changing policy but strongly considering to abolish the residence permit to learn the language because reports have been abusing this scheme. I hope and pray that the drastic changes may not be implemented too soon. Before, they only want to see your study plan, but now, i think they want also to see your admission documents from the school you intend to study the Norwegian language. It's almost been 2 mos since l lodged my application and no feed back yet.

hi guys this is really a bad news my cousin who is from Norway have told me that there will be a change of policy in Norway, due to a lot of our fellow Filipino faking documents just to be granted a student visa to work and not really to study..Norway will soon abstain giving student visa to study Norwegian Language specifically to Philippines...I am very devastated because I just submitted my documents last June 28, although this is not confirmed yet ;according to a reliable source it might happen soon ..

hello michayganda! where can I read about that change in policy. coz u know i also applied that kind of visa.

@gemsky. kindly inform me where should i read that news. i really hope that we can have our visa before they change anything to their policy. :dead:

@ gemsky

Im losing hope and feeling down to think that they will abolish that type of visa, considering the application that cost P17500 is not a joke

@michayganda, we feel the same sentiment, you can't get away of sometimes feeling scared most especially when you have already lodged your application and just waiting for the result. I'm worried that the impending changes in their policies might affect the outcome of our application. I hope and pray that it would'nt take 5 long months to wait.

Hi.. I'm interested to apply in Norway too since Canada closed its doorway for nurses.. Hmm one agency told me that its easy to have a work permit in Norway once I get there.. I just have to apply as a stud visa then will study for abt 3 to 6 mons and then i can already apply for work permit.. is this true? and is the language really hard to learn? and wot is this SAFH all about? Or maybe there are other ways?

I wanted to do it on my own to check whether I'm eligible or wot but I don't kno where and how to start..

I strongly suggest not to get help from agencies bec you can actually apply by yourself, all you need to do is check the UDI website and the Phil Norwegian embassy site too and check all the requirements..you start on completing the requirements and showmoney which is around P800,000.00

Hello guys!

Im planning to send my application but I have this problem with the checklist on the " document a Norwegian course that you are going to attend" (this is if you are still not admitted to the school) and the "a plan for the Norwegian courses you will be attending during your stay in Norway". My aunt sent me a what I believe is the course description that I will going to attend including the course number, lesson, price, days etc. it was very brief that I am confuse if that is the study plan or the nowregian course description. Or if the two stated option above is the just the same? if so where can I have sample of a study plan?? please help..I am so confuse right now thanks in advance.

I had my interview yesterday and it was not as hard as I expected.They just ask questions that they see on your requirements, I felt like it's not an interview but rather an interrogation to check if your requirements are real.Interviewers are not very friendly including the receptionists whom are not accomodating at all.Anyway according to them the process time to get student permit to study the language is now 4 months(used to be 2months).According to the girl who interviewed me, its not really them who will decide but they will submit my application to UDI, then UDI will email me or call me for feedback.really hoping for the best. :)

mitchay regarding the requirements, what are the list of requirements to be sent to the embassy for the visa? im very confused, im planning to have my interview next month.
