Admission and Visa process of Norway

AOA

The process of admission to Norway is simple;

1-Go to http://www.studyinnorway.no/ to search for Master programmes and Bachelor

programmes taught in English and their institutes.

2-Read the requirements of the programmes you are interested in.

3- Apply in at least 8 Programmes since the admission is getting more competitive every year

now. Send application by regular Pakistan Post (http://www.pakpost.gov.pk/), do not waste

money on DHL, Fedex, TCS etc. All your documents should be attested. Preferably, the

documents should be sent by the institute in Pakistan (the institutes stamp on the photocopy

attested from IBCC/HEC and Ministry of Foreign Affairs + sealed in the institutes envelope

with institutes stamp and signatures on the flap of the envelope). You only need to send the

attested copies (from IBCC, HEC, Ministry of Foreign Affairs), and not the original degrees.

Recommended list of Required Documents:

You need your bachelor degree and copies attested from HEC and also from Ministry of

Foreign Affair.

Matric and Inter degree and copies attested from relevant board, IBCC and also from

Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

least one from your former teacher). Certified by the institute. Make sure that the name

of the recommender, his email address and/or phone numbers are clearly visible on the

letter. Motivation letter/ Statement of purpose.

Bank statement of 13 Lac Rupees (it could be a one day statement---no need to show

history in transactions, you only need to show that you have this money in your

account), or anyone can give you his bank statement, and just get a letter from him that

he will support you for your studies.

You may also get the English Translated Marriage Certificate/Nikah Form+photocopies,

attested from Ministry of Foreign Affairs, OR English Translated Un-Married Certificate

+photocopies, and attested from Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This is not required, but

useful later in Norway.

If any document is not in English, then submit the official credentials in original

language and a certified translation to English.

Resume/CV.

Any Educational or Training Certificate that will maximize your chances to get admission.

4- If you get the admission then transfer the required money (89,000NOK) in your University's

bank account. This money is only to show that you are able to cover your living expenses in

Norway for a year. You may send the money back to Pakistan after arriving in Norway.

5-Apply for visa in Norwegian Embassy in Norway with the admission letter, your degrees

(attested from IBCC, HEC and Ministry of Foreign Affairs), English translated Birth certificate

from Union Council/Municipality, confirmation from your university in Norway that you have

transferred the money, and your passport.
