Sponsorship and invitation for visitors
Sponsorship and invitation form if a sponsor (a private person or an inviting company) is covering your expenses to travel and stay in Norway (Sponsor for visitors - UDI). Your sponsor can fill out a digital sponsorship and invitation form with their electronic ID or use our paper form.
If you have a minimum of NOK 500 per day/person and can document this through e.g., a statement of account from your bank or a wage specification for the past six months, you do not need to use a sponsorship form. However, you may still use the form if you believe that will help your application.
