RESIDENCE PERMIT
If you wish to study in Norway for 3 months or more, you
need to apply for a residence permit as a student. The
process varies depending on your nationality.
Students from non EU/EEA countries
If you come from a non EU/EEA country you need a
visa/residence permit. You are advised to contact the
Norwegian Embassy or Consulate General in your home
country for information on procedures, or check the
webpage of the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration:
https://www.udi.no/en/want-to-apply/studies/. For the
visa/residence permit you need the Letter of Acceptance
from the University of Agder. There is a fee connected to
the visa process.
If you are a citizen of one of the countries on this list
you can apply for a visa (as soon as possible) after
your arrival to Norway: https://www.udi.no/en/word-
definitions/persons-who-do-not-need-a-visa-to-visit-
norway-/#link-708. However, since the visa process in
Norway may take a couple of months, we recommend
that you apply from your home country. If your nationality
is not on the list, you need to apply for a visa to Norway
from your home country.
Once in Norway you are required to go to the local police
station. More information about the procedure on page 7
and 9.
Students from EU/EEA countries
EU/EEA students do not have to apply for a residence
permit, but do have to register with the police if staying
in Norway for more than 3 months. Please register online
before you leave your home country: https://www.udi.no/
en/want-to-apply/the-registration-scheme-for-eueea-
nationals/
Once in Norway you are required to go to the local police
station. More information about the procedure on page 7
and 9.
NORWEGIAN ID NUMBER
Most students do not need a Norwegian ID number,
but if you would like to work or open a bank account
you may apply for one by reporting a move to Norway
at the Population Registry in Kristiansand: Kjøita 42, or
Arendal: Friergangen 4.
HEALTH AND INSURANCE
You must be insured while you are in Norway. European
students should order a European Health Insurance
Card. You will then be treated as a Norwegian citizen
when seeking health services. Students from outside
of Europe will need proof of insurance from their home
countries in order to register with the police, and to apply
for reimbursement after receiving Norwegian health
services.

11THE ERASMUS STUDENT
NETWORK (ESN)
ERASMUS STUDENT NETWORK AGDER
ESN Agder is a volunteer student organisation which works
primarily to optimize the exchange students’ stay here in Agder. In
addition to the board members, there are many volunteer buddies.
Throughout the year ESN organizes trips, parties and other social
events. ESN’s main goal is to give international students a semester
abroad where they have experienced Kristiansand, Grimstad
and other parts of Norway at their best, and made friends for life.
ESN also focuses on integration through activities that match
Norwegian and international students.
The Buddy Programme
ESN provides a buddy programme for all new international
students. The students are divided in buddy groups with several
buddies (in Grimstad there is normally just one group). Belonging to
a buddy group makes it easier getting to know your fellow students
and joining the social events.
You are welcome to join the events committee and contribute to
make your stay at UiA a memorable one!
During the semester, ESN will organize more events!

The buddy group program
worked well, and with that as a
support it is easy to find good
friends.
Because there was an ESN
organization, integration was
very easy. They prepared a lot
of parties and activities where
everyone could come and get to
