Student Visas for Norway
Are you from Bangladesh? You might need a student visa…
Don’t worry, everything is under control. We’re here to make your search for the perfect international degree in Norway easier and more enjoyable. Meanwhile, you can get a head start and:
Check if you really need a student visa.
Since you’re from Bangladesh and planning full-time academic study in Norway, yes, you will definitely need a student visa (often called a “residence permit for studies”).
Start exploring the official Norwegian visa information.
For Bangladeshi applicants, the Norwegian Embassy in Dhaka handles student visa applications. That’s where you’ll find the most accurate and up-to-date information. Bookmark it, read it carefully, and refer back whenever needed.
Check the deadlines.
The visa process can take several weeks. Missing an appointment or a required document could delay your visa and make you miss the start of your studies — not a twist you want in your story.
Prepare your paperwork carefully.
Make sure you have all the essentials, such as:
-
Valid passport
-
Acceptance letter from a Norwegian institution
-
Completed visa/residence permit application form
-
Passport-size photos
-
Proof of accommodation in Norway
-
Proof of financial support for the duration of your stay
-
Academic transcripts and certificates
-
Language proficiency proof (English or Norwegian, depending on your program)
-
Medical insurance (health insurance may be required)
-
Motivation letter or interview confirmation (if required)
Start saving up.
You will need to prove you can support yourself financially throughout your stay. This includes tuition fees (if applicable), living expenses, visa fees, and daily costs.
Improve your Norwegian or English skills.
Many programmes are offered in English, but knowing some Norwegian will make daily life, paperwork, and local connections much easier. Good language skills also help in interviews or any written submissions.
All in all, getting your Norwegian student visa may seem like a big task — but it’s one crucial step toward an exciting new adventure.
Good luck and stay confident!
