The Residence permit deposit account is applicable for non-EU/EEA students who must submit documentation to the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI) that they have sufficient funds to cover living expenses while studying in Norway. 

If you are a non-EU/EEA citizen, you must apply for an account. Once the application has been approved you will receive an invoice with the amount you must pay to the SiO deposit account. The required amount varies depending on how long and when you are staying. Once you have paid the invoice (and we have registered the payment) you will be able to download the confirmation of sufficient funds from MyPage.

If you are a EU/EEA citizen, you do not need to apply for this residence permit deposit account.

If you have received an invoice from SiO Housing that you would like to pay with your residence permit deposit, contact us here.

If you need to order cash cards, contact us here.
