Family Immigration
Overview
Family immigration is also called family reunification or forming a family. Those who apply for family immigration are usually the spouse, cohabitant or child of someone who lives in Norway. Other types of family members who may apply are parents who have children in Norway, those who are going to marry someone in Norway (fiancées/fiancés), foster children and full siblings.
Jordanian and Iraqi citizens, and persons who have been legally residing in Jordan or Iraq the last 6 months, can apply for a family immigration permit in Norway at the Visa Application Centre.
