The Immigration Office in Sarpsborg has offered our students a new time due to the weather conditions on January 17th.
These group appointments are open for international students at HiØ that need to either submit documents or register with the police. The NEW date for these group appointments is Wednesday, January 31.
Students that signed-up for the January 17th date are automatically transferred to the 31st. If anyone that didn't previously sign up and would like to register on January 31, send us an email at international@hiof.no.
Students will not be giving a specific time but must arrive during this time slot. Depending on when students choose to arrive at the Immigration Office, there might be some waiting time.
The registration will happen on the 3rd and 4th floors and students are asked to use both floors to reduce waiting time.
It is important that students know what they have to do before the appointment and what they need to bring to their appointment. The information on our website can be a good place to start gathering information but it is important to note that you have to always refer to the information provided on the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration's website.
The Immigration Office has specifically asked us to remind students to bring the following:
- Passport
- Confirmation of sufficient funds (this can be a personal declaration for EU/EEA citizens)
- Documentation of health insurance or European Healthcard
- Confirmation of admission (email from Østfold University College with your admission decision)
All students must also submit an application before arriving at the Immigration Office.
While HiØ helps to book these appointments, students are responsible for their own transportation to and from the Immigration Office.
