The EuroBrits Norway project helped UK nationals who moved to Norway before 1 January 2021 with securing their residence status now that the UK has left the EU. The AIRE Centre implemented the EuroBrits Norway project until the end of September 2021.

UK nationals who were legally residing in Norway before 1 January 2021 do not have to abide by the 90 days in every 180 day period with respect to their residence in Norway. However, they should apply for the new residence permits by 31 December 2021. 

If you are a UK national who moved to Norway before the end of the year 2020, you can read our information sheets and watch our webinars for more information on the procedure and documentation necessary for a successful application. 

You can visit our EuroBrits Residence Guide where you can find concise information on the Separation Agreement. You can also take a quick quiz to find out whether you are a beneficiary of the Separation Agreement by clicking here.

Information Sheets

We have produced a series of information sheets designed to provide practical information to UK nationals seeking to secure their residence in Norway. We want these sheets to be as helpful as possible and want to know if they have supported you in obtaining a residence permit or if they have assisted you to help someone else do so. Please help us to improve our service by giving us feedback on these resources HERE.
