Norwegian classes for adult immigrants

Immigrants between 55 and 65 have a right but not a duty to take part in the tuition.

You must have at least 300 hours of Norwegian lessons if you want to get a settlement permit in Norway.

Some people get free Norwegian classes and some people have to pay for them.
Refugees and family-reunited possessing a residence permit receive free tuition.

Foreign jobseekers must pay for the Norwegian classes.
