Moving to Wisconsin, do I need a permit if I have one honored from Wisconsin

Ok, here is the deal. I'm moving to Wisconsin from Minnesota. I had a valid permit to carry from Minnesota. I know I can keep it and just need to notify the sheriff of my former home county in MN. My permit will just transfer to being an out of state resident permit.

However, what are the requirements for me in WI. Do I need to get a WI permit as well? I know in MN, you had to have a MN permit if you were a resident of the state. Does Wisconsin have something similar?
 

Wisconsin issues to residents only. While there may be a few exceptions, virtually every state requires new residents to get new licenses (driving, professional, ccw, etc.)upon establish residency in the new state. See this page concerning Wisconsin CCW

OUT-OF-STATE LICENSES

"Do I need a Wisconsin license if I already have a CCW license from another state?

Yes. If you are a Wisconsin resident. An out-of-state licensee is defined as an individual with an out-of- state CCW license who is 21 years of age or over, and who is not a Wisconsin resident. Wis. Stat. § 175.60(1)(g). Therefore, if you currently reside in Wisconsin and have a CCW license or permit issued by another state, your out-of-state license is not legally sufficient to carry concealed in Wisconsin and you must qualify for and obtain a Wisconsin CCW license in order to carry concealed in Wisconsin.

However, training obtained under the training requirement of another state may be sufficient to meet Wisconsin‘s firearms training requirement".
