Always use UDI’s current guidance and select your citizenship in the UDI guide, because requirements differ by nationality and permit type.
Work immigration — UDI
Start here to identify the correct residence permit for work. Most non-EU/EEA applicants normally need a job offer first.

Requirements and application route for applicants with qualifying higher education, vocational training or equivalent special qualifications.
Open official website ↗Seasonal worker permit — UDI
Official requirements for genuinely seasonal jobs or holiday replacement work. A concrete full-time job offer is required.
Open official website ↗Job seeker permit — UDI
Check whether you fall within the limited categories allowed to stay in Norway while seeking skilled work.

Official information for short visits of up to 90 days. A visitor visa is not a work permit.
Open official website ↗UDI Application Portal
Use UDI’s official online portal when the relevant UDI application guide directs you to register, pay and manage your application.
Open official website ↗Application route
Typical process for working in Norway
Search & apply
Find legitimate vacancies and submit a targeted CV and application to the employer.
Receive a job offer
For most work-permit routes outside the EU/EEA, you normally need a concrete qualifying job offer before applying.
Choose the correct permit
Use UDI’s work-immigration guide and select your citizenship and work category.
Register & submit
Follow UDI’s instructions for online registration, fees, documents and where to submit biometrics/documents.
Fraud warning: Never pay an unknown recruiter for a guaranteed Norwegian job or visa. A recruiter cannot guarantee a residence permit. Verify job offers, employer identity and payment instructions independently. Use UDI for immigration requirements.
