Study in Norway
If you wish to study in Norway for longer than three months you must apply for a residence permit for students. You do not need a residence permit if you intend to stay in Norway for less than three months, but you must apply for a visa if you come from a country with a visa requirement for entering Norway, such as Thailand.
How to apply?
Applications for a residence permits must as a general rule be submitted in person at the Norwegian foreign service station where you are a citizen. If you reside in another country other than where you are a citizen, you must in general have had a work or residence permit in this country for the past six months before you submit the application.
All applications for residence and work in Norway will be forwarded by the Embassy to the Directorate of Immigration (UDI) in Norway for consideration.
