- NOK 42 500 per semester (approximately US$ 8000 / 5500 Euro) at his or her disposal in a Norwegian bank account.
The money garantees, that a student is able to cover accommodation and other living costs in Norway. Only when finance is proved a student residence permit will be issued.
The Student Welfare Organisation (SWO) at the Unversity of Tromsø offers a temporary bank account for foreign students where the needed amount of money can be deposited. More information about the procedure can be downloaded here .
