Hi Mery, I'm Monica, from Brazil and I just got my Family Immigration visa. It was very fast. My husband, who is brazilian too, works for an O&G company and he came to Stavanger on March. I came on May and started the visa process from here.

The hard part was to have my documents from Brazil validated in Brazil and to get everything translated, but as soon as I received them back and applied, in two weeks I received the letter telling my visa was granted.

Although it is a permanent visa, it has to be renewed every year . You will find all the information you need at udi.no

Good luck!

Hi Mery

I hope you've found some answers by now, but if you haven't I recommend you go and look at UDI.no this is the website Norway uses for all its immigration, its also a website you can start the process of applying for your visas from. Personally I dont have experience with family reunification but I do with family immigration. If you have any specific questions give me a private message and I will do my best to answer.

Try not to be too put off by the waiting times, I know they say 9 months for family immigrations at the moment but I got my answer within six weeks of that supposed 9 months so I think it just varies.

Hello! Thanks for your answer!

You think I can start my visa process if I am in Norway? Would that be easier?. What documents did you need for that? I appreciate your help!
