CHECK WHETHER YOU NEED A VISA TO ENTER NORWAY FOR EXCHANGE STUDIES / TRAINEESHIPS
Students with non-EU, Swiss or Lichtenstein citizenship (passport): It is your responsibility to check which type of visa or registration (EU-EEA students) you will need and how to get it. If you arrive at UiT The Arctic University of Norway without the appropriate visa which permits you to study in Norway for the duration of your exchange, you may face troubles with the local Immigration Office at the Police Department. In some cases, you may have to leave Norway and re-enter in order to get your immigration permission corrected.
