hi dee_arve, welcome to the forum :Hellooo:
I'm not sure about the free entry visa as i think you have to pay for visa fees when you apply for settlement or residence permit to other countries,
but i'm not really certain about that, i'm sure many members here who have more knowledge about this matter
will be able to help you and answer your queries more accurately...

Ive always understood the Visa fee to be around £500 and think thats the UK fee, so it shouldnt matter where you apply from, just changes the currency.
I'm not the expert tho

Wait for Joeblogg moderator reply, because we only know UK visa and since your wonderful man is from Norway, we dont have much idea about Norway, as UK visa is nearly 43,000 more or less or £585 something like that,

[joebloggs]

it depends on where your husband is living .. in the uk or norway ??

my husband is residing in NOrway...
the consul in cebu has no help at all because what is stated in the norway- ph site is that the entry visa can be passed to them and now they told us
that they dont accept anymore visa processing..
well anyway, thank u so much for the help and its good to know how this site can extend help to those in need...
i really appreciate the replies...:)

yeah..we are willing to pay for the processing but then what just stopped us from doing so is that when my hubby asked the police (because most of the legal papers are directed to the police in their country) they also provided him an information that we will not be able to process the residence permit unless i am already there.. so we are just worried that might be we will be paying twice for the residence permit :bigcry:.. i also dont want that to happen for money is not that easy to find right now and just giving it to someone without assurance of the legality of the papers will not be a good action... siggghhh!

hi, i applied for fiancee visa in norway and i am here right now in Oslo just arrived here 2 weeks ago. I know someone who applied for spouse visa and she paid for her visa when she applied I think that was around 22 thou plus (not really sure). but dont worry about it, once you are here u will not pay again coz all you have to do is submit your passport to the police within 7 days after you arrived in norway and they will stamp your residence permit which is valid for 1 yr and u will just renew it every year. lucky for you coz you got married there in Philippines coz its a bit hard when you are in fiancee visa coz my residence permit is only good for 6 months and we have to get married within that said period, and after we got married i have to apply for another family reunification which will take about 7 months which is very frustrating coz if my visa is expired already I cannot be able to work here and just have to wait until my new permit is approved. plus norwegian language course is not free so i have to pay 4 thou plus NOK in order to get the training unlike if u got married already in the phil things are easy. u get free language course and no other things to process and pay. so just go ahead and pay the visa fee and dont worry anymore. good luck !
