Types of Work Visa in Norway

Norwegian work visas/work permits are of various types. Based on their mode of work, immigrants can apply for suitable work visas.   

 

Norway Resident permit

The residence permit allows nationals from non-European Union (EU), non-European Economic Area (EEA), or other parts of the world to study and work in Norway. Applicants with suitable eligibility standards can obtain a residence permit, which is allotted based on the applicant's education, occupation, and skill set.

 

Norway Skilled Work Permit

Candidates who meet suitable eligibility criteria can get a skilled work permit. The permit is initially granted for 2 years and can be extended for two more years. International skilled work permit holders can apply for Norway PR after 3 years of consecutive work experience.

 

International skilled workers working in Norway with a skilled work permit need not apply for a new work permit if they change jobs with another employer. The professional work permit allows them to work with any Norwegian employer.
