What you will find in this guide
Family immigration is both an application process and a settlement process. This guide connects UDI requirements with practical life after arrival: income, housing, children, health and school.
Plan the application and settlement together
Read official information at UDI before applying. Then use SamfunnPrep guides for practical steps after arrival, such as kindergarten admission, the school system and NAV in Norway.
