Can I change to a family reunion visa after arriving in Norway with a family visit visa?

The meaning of visiting relatives visa and family reunion visa is different. The maximum visa for visiting relatives is 9 months, after which you must leave Norway 1 year before you can re-enter Norway. Even if a family visit visa arrives in Norway, you still need to apply for a family reunion visa, but you can't apply for a family reunion visa instead. This is totally unacceptable. Even if your family reunion visa comes out at that time, you may be asked to leave Norway first and then enter Norway, or even worse, you may be asked to return to China. Someone once came to Norway to get married with a visiting visa, and then wanted to apply for family reunion, and the answer was to return to China.

If you have any questions about this answer, you can consult the Norwegian Embassy in China, and they are obliged to explain it for you.

It is understandable to want to take a shortcut, but you think it is easy to get an immigrant visa. Do you know how many people immigrate to Norway every year because of malignancy? As a visa officer, inspection is the most important. How to do a good job is to act according to the immigration laws and regulations formulated every year. I think according to all kinds of visa incidents I have seen and heard in recent years, I have come to a conclusion that visa officers would rather kill 1000 by mistake than let 1 go.

If you want to pass, you must get all the documents they want according to udi's requirements. If you have a bank deposit, indicating that you can stand on your own feet for a period of time after you arrive in Norway, the chances of issuing a visa will be much greater. A friend of mine applied for a family reunion visa with a bank deposit in China, and the visa came out soon. Can be emulated.

Good luck!
