Documentation of finance
From 2025, applicants to UiS are no longer required to document financial means to cover living expenses during the admission process. However, as part of the study permit application (submitted after admission), UDI requires citizens from outside the EU/EEA/Switzerland to provide a financial guarantee for living expenses while studying in Norway. For the first year, the required amount — NOK 166,859 (as of March 2025, adjusted annually) — must be deposited into a Norwegian bank account after admission, in accordance with UDI regulations.
More information about this process can be found under Visa and Study Permit.
