Norway work permits and residence visas are employer-sponsored and follow a detailed process through the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI). Unlike Schengen short-stay visas, these are for long-term employment and require a job offer, employer sponsorship and skills assessment.

This requires a direct consultation

  • Eligibility is determined by your occupation, qualifications and employment offer from a Norwegian employer.
  • Processing time, fees and documentation are significantly different from Schengen tourist and business visas.
  • Our immigration consultants will evaluate your profile, advise on requirements, and guide you through the entire process.
