Language certificate

Here from languages courses all I have to show from the time I spent learning (Other than my language skills.) is a piece of paper that really just says basic norwegian / every day norwegian / norwegian nivå 1/2 etc.

Thanks, should be fine.

Unrelated question, I see you live in Vestfold, which is the area I'm planning on moving to as well. What was your reason for the move to Norway? marriage?

Hello,

You can read about the officially recognised tests here: http://www.folkeuniversitetet.no/englis … -id-10074/

If you want to study at a Norwegian higher education institution, you will need the most advanced level; the so-called "Bergenstesten" (http://www.folkeuniversitetet.no/englis … -id-10300/)

Good luck,

David

I moved here to live with my Norwegian husband, we've been married a couple years now

In my opinion Vestfold is an easier adjustment than some other places in Norway because its not deathly quiet and the people around you to an extent are sort of 'used to' immigrants Good luck!

Thanks! I already heard something about that, so I'll need to travel to Bergen to take the test I guess

Same situation then! My fiancé is norwegian and I've heard horror stories that it takes 9 months to be able to live there and you need to go through a lot of trouble to prove that the marriage is real?

If you are an EU citizen, I don't think you should have any problems with that.
