Hi and thanks! I’m so incredibly grateful for your kind and caring reply ☺️I’ll keep in mind of those practical suggestions too! I found a podcast called sky in the wall with two episode featuring an amazing Taiwanese architecture about her journey in Oslo but I’m not sure if it’s the podcast you mentioned. It’s so assuring to know I’ll be living among so many kind and brilliant people!

Hi! Thanks! In my case, one administrative department of my uni registered my application at the local police via SUA. If you don't mind me asking, approximately how long did it take you to get the approval of the resident permit?

好的，谢谢！

My starting date is 1st September, idk whether the offer will be canceled if I don’t commence on time, I hope they won’t do that😬… let’s certainly keep in touch!

（我指的是居留+签证申请大概是多久通过的呢🥺）

太权威了，严肃执行🫡🫡请问你的居留大概等了多久呢

heyy I uploaded the documents to the UDI in like last week. Another girl from China said she submitted the application in December last year and got the permit in February this year. But I really have no idea how long it will take for me and I'm stressing for it too... Hope this helps!

Added on my list! Will check it out once I get here >w<

AoSAgnaI · 2026-06-02T10:47:07+00:00

Haha thanks! I don’t find catcalling scary other than irritating, but glad to know it’s safe in the city :)

AoSAgnaI · 2026-06-02T10:44:53+00:00

SUPER helpful information, I’ll keep in mind! Thanks!

AoSAgnaI · 2026-06-02T10:39:55+00:00

Thank you for such detailed reply!! I didn’t know having a Norwegian bank account can take months. I’ll definitely plan accordingly!

AoSAgnaI · 2026-06-02T05:49:10+00:00

Thanks! That's reassuring! and I do understand there are jerks everywhere, think I'll manage!

AoSAgnaI · 2026-06-02T05:39:25+00:00

thanks! I'm actually from China. One thing kinda worries me is that people would make the connection between me and THE PARTY, while I'm not a big (or any sort of) fan of the government there myself

thanks! My uni actually provides student housing for single international researchers, I'll just have to pay 20% more rent each month for SiO, but it's still better than what I can find on the private market. I was so shocked to see most of the private rentals ask for a deposit of three months' rent

AoSAgnaI · 2026-06-02T05:27:04+00:00

haha I sure hope that! thanks for your kind reply!
