The sponsor can now verify their identity by using their Norwegian electronic ID to access ID-porten for individuals or Ansattporten for representatives of companies and organisations. However, to represent a business and act as a sponsor in visa cases, the user needs to have been given permission in Altinn by the business administrator.
The paper version of the sponsorship form will continue to be available alongside the new digital version.
