Confusion on schengen visitor visa and residence permit in Norway

[w2wtr1]

Thank u so much for the response. Me and my husband was really grateful and appreciate u took time out to respond to our inquiry.

We have already contacted the local authorities here in Norway and submitted all the necessary documents they required. Upon hearing ur reply, now Im pretty sure we are doing the right thing. Im glad I can extend my stay here legally and I dont need to return home soon, since the other (permanent )visa when u apply in the philippines is a long process and the one way ticket when i get approved is much more expensive. So far, so good. The police station took all the original copies of our marriage certificate, my birth certificate, proof of his house property, his ITR and his income for last the 3 months. They will then forward it to UDI and to the utlendingskontoret ( Government Alien's Office- a branch of UDI )---at least, thats what we were told. I just wish everything will go fine.
I just have a few question about the health insurance. My husband has never heard about SSN before, he has no idea what it is and how can he include me in his medical insurance. My travel insurance is only good for 90 days and I do have a difficulty in coughing (constantly) since I got here because of the very cold weather. Im just not used to this kind of climate. He wants me to seek a doctor but Im afraid to consult since everything here is so expensive, including doctor fees. (and my current health insurance only covers accident/hospitalization fees). I was thinking if I can use his medical insurance, we could just pay at least half of the price of the doctor's fee. I simply dont want him to shoulder all the bills. But we just dont know exactly how and when can he include me on his health insurance. After I got my residency card? We asked the local police station about it (SSN) but they have no idea as well. Any input from you will be appreciated. Thank you so much for the time and Godspeed to you and your beloved .

SSN is just a generic word more used in the US, in Norway I suppose (not sure, I'm not familiar with this country) it's Norwegian National Insurance Scheme (Folketrydgen).

Have a look on this link (Health care in Norway): http://www.awcoslo.org/Sections/Livi..._in_norway.htm

Your husband can inquire at the Human Ressources people at his work if he needs more infos.

I forgot to add also that the immigration here will only return all our original documents after 5 months. Is that really normal?

This is country specific procedure, so I can't answer. As you're married and living together you will surely be granted for the residency there.

Send me a PM, I will give you some clues to find other Filipinas in Norway (I tried to PM you, but it's not possible).
