The Guideline has been updated following an amendment to section 9-1 of the Immigration Regulations, introducing a new fourth paragraph that enters into force on 1 September 2026. The new provision allows the full-time employment requirement to be satisfied through sufficient income and is briefly described in Chapter 2 and explained in more detail in Chapter 6. The amendments do not entail any new or changed tasks for first-line agencies. In addition, some imprecise wording and errors in other parts of the guideline have been corrected, and the Guideline is now up to date with the Norwegian versjon.
