Documentation of financing for self-financing applicants

Self-financing applicants from outside the EU/EEA area must document that they can finance their studies at the School of Mission and Theology. The Norwegian Immigration Authorities require that you can provide a minimum of NOK 94 400 (approx. 12 440 Euro). This is the minimum amount of money required to cover living expenses for one academic year in Norway. It should be documented by enclosing a recent bank transcript. It is critical that you prove your financial means when you submit the application to the School of Mission and Theology.

If you will be using a non-Norwegian sponsor, the School of Mission and Theology will ask for a letter included in the application form from the sponsor(s) which confirms that the sponsor(s) is willing to transfer NOK 94 400 if you are admitted.

When admitted you must immediately transfer NOK 94400 to a Norwegian account in order to have your visa application processed by the Immigration Authorities.

If you do not have a Norwegian bank account you may use a personal deposit account at the School of Mission and Theology. The money will safely be returned to you after you have arrived and gone through the process of having opened a bank account in Norway.

More details about this will be given in the admission letters, and upon arrival at the School of Mission and Theology.
