The Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI) has introduced new language requirements for residence permits in Norway. These changes aim to ensure that foreign nationals residing in Norway have the necessary language skills to integrate into Norwegian society.
The new language requirements will apply to applicants for residence permits in Norway. To be eligible for a residence permit, applicants will need to demonstrate proficiency in the Norwegian language. The required level of proficiency will vary depending on the type of residence permit and the individual's circumstances.
The new requirements will be based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Applicants will need to demonstrate proficiency at a minimum level of A2 or B1, depending on the specific requirements for their residence permit.
Applicants will need to provide documentation of their language proficiency. They can take a Norwegian language test, such as the Bergenstest or the Norskprøve, to demonstrate their language proficiency. Completion of a Norwegian language course may also be accepted as proof of language proficiency.
The new language requirements will apply to all new applications for residence permits in Norway. Applicants who do not meet the language requirements may not be eligible for a residence permit.
Applicants who have passed all four parts of the Norwegian test at level A2 or higher will be exempted from taking the language requirements update.
The new language requirements will be implemented gradually, and UDI will provide guidance and support to applicants and employers to ensure a smooth transition.
