Apply for authorisation and license
By answering a few simple questions, you will get information tailored to you:
- which documents are required
- how to apply
- processing fee
- processing time
Applicants from Pakistan: Due to many applications received, as well as challenges with verification of documents, the Directorate of Health has spent a long-time assessing applications from applicants with an education completed in Pakistan. The processing of the applications has begun, but a long processing time still must be considered. This is because the applications are processed individually and in the order in which they are received.
Applicants from Pakistan: The Norwegian Directorate of Health is not able to answer inquiries about the expected processing time and priority neither by telephone or e-mail. This is because we don’t have more information to give than what is stated above. Applications for visas are not taken into account when applications for authorisation are to be processed.
