Applicants from Pakistan: Due to a high volume of applications and challenges with document verification, the Norwegian Directorate of Health has experienced extended processing times for applications from individuals with education completed in Pakistan. While application reviews have commenced, please be aware that processing times remain lengthy. This is because each application is reviewed individually and in the order in which it was 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.
