Most Bangladeshi students travel from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (DAC), Dhaka, to Oslo Airport (OSL), Norway’s largest international airport. Depending on your university’s location, you may continue your journey to cities such as Bergen, Trondheim, Stavanger, Tromsø, or Kristiansand by domestic flight, train, or coach.
There are currently no direct flights from Bangladesh to Norway. Most students travel through one international transit airport before arriving in Norway.

Most international students arrive 3-7 days before university orientation to complete essential tasks such as moving into accommodation, purchasing a local SIM card, exploring the surrounding area, and preparing for their first day on campus.
Planning your arrival also gives you enough time to recover from a long journey and adjust to Norway’s climate and time zone before your classes begin.
