What are the main requirements for a Norway study permit?

A study permit is for full-time studies at an institution approved (accredited) in Norway, such as one on NOKUT's list of approved institutions. You must have been admitted to a full-time programme before you can be granted the permit.

You also have to document that you can support yourself financially for the study period and that you have somewhere to live. Meeting these conditions is essential, and they continue to apply throughout your stay, not just at the application stage.
