If you wish to obtain a permit for family immigration, you must, as a general rule, have been granted a permit before entering Norway. However, in certain circumstances you may enter Norway before a permit has been granted. In such a case, you must obtain an entry visa if you are subject to the visa requirement.

The embassy might issue a 7-day D entry visa with the purpose to apply for family reunion in Norway. If you belong to one of the following categories below and intend to stay in Norway for more than 90 days, you can apply for such an entry visa. This visa ensures valid stay for a period of 7 days, during which an application for residence permit has to be submitted at the local police office. The applicant is then entitled to stay in Norway while the application for a residence permit is being processed.

The following persons may apply for an entry visa:

• The spouse of a Norwegian national who is living in Norway or plans to settle here.
• The spouse of a Nordic national who is living in Norway.
• The spouse of a foreign national who has a permanent residence permit.
• Children that you and your spouse have had together who are not Norwegian nationals (children you have had with previous partners (children of only one party) must apply for family immigration via their country of origin/country of residence).

Both the applicant and the reference person in Norway must be at least 24 years or older.

If you have not applied for and been granted a temporary work permit, you are not entitled to work during the visa period. Nor are you entitled to schooling, Norwegian language tuition and certain other benefits while you are waiting for your application to be processed.

Being granted an entry visa has no bearing on the outcome of your application for family immigration.

This scheme applies to several groups of applicants, in particular skilled workers, cf.
https://www.udiregelverk.no/en/documents/udi-circulars/rs-2010-046e/

A 7-day D-visa will only be granted if the Embassy has been provided with documents proving that the relationship is of a long lasting and serious character.

In order to apply for an entry visa you must register your application as a normal Schengen visa application on our Application Portal. There you will also be asked to pay the fee and apply together with your supporting documents. When the application reaches the Embassy, the Norwegian Embassy will register the application as a 7 day entry visa.

Your children cannot apply for family reunification with you while you are in Norway on a fiancé permit, as this permit does not constitute grounds for family reunification.

If you are going to marry an EEA-citizen with a right of residence in Norway, you can apply for a fiancé permit. The fiancé’s right of residence is only valid for 6 months and it must be likely that marriage will be entered into in this period.

In order to be granted a residence permit as a skilled worker, you must be a qualified skilled worker whose expertise is relevant to the job you will be doing in Norway.

The term skilled worker covers the following categories:

• Specialist training corresponding to upper secondary education level. You must have completed vocational training for a specific occupation. The education must as a minimum correspond to upper secondary education level, i.e. at least three years. If you underwent an education abroad, you must have achieved the same level of expertise as you would have achieved had you been educated in Norway. Examples include vocational education for joiners, plumbers or auxiliary nurses.
• Craft certificate. A craft certificate taken abroad must have resulted in the same level of expertise as a Norwegian craft certificate.
• University college or university education. The requirement is a completed degree or study Programme. Examples include nurses, engineers, Bachelor or Master’s degrees.

• Special qualifications.

  You can have so-called qualifications as an alternative to education or a craft certificate: The term special qualifications covers two alternatives:

  • Special qualifications are relevant in those occupations for which Norway has a training programme or a craft certificate, but where the applicant has no such training or craft certificate from Norway or another country, or has only partly completed such training. You can nonetheless be deemed to have special qualifications if you, through practical experience in the trade in question or in combination with some training, have acquired competence approximately equivalent to the level conferred by such training or craft certificate. The practical experience must be of longer duration than the corresponding education or training for a craft certificate.
  • Special qualifications are relevant in those occupations for which Norway does not have a training programme or craft certificate. You must have practical experience which, in its scope and nature, is on par with what can be deemed to be involved in such an education or a craft certificate. This means several years of purposeful training normally will be required, and you must be able to document how the competence has been acquired.
• Please note that, in principle, a skilled worker permit is only granted on the basis of special qualifications in exceptional circumstances and that thorough documentation is required.

Your employer can apply on your behalf

Your employer can also apply for a residence permit on your behalf if you authorize him or her in writing. You must complete the authorization section of the application form or give your employer some other form of written authorization. If your employer applies on your behalf, the application must be submitted in the police district where the enterprise is located.

The employer cannot apply on your behalf without written authorization. However, if your employer is covered by the early employment scheme, he/she can apply for a residence permit on your behalf without written authorization.

The early employment scheme

The early employment scheme means that employers who meet certain criteria can recruit labor directly and let employees start working before their application has been processed. The scheme applies to skilled workers, defined by expertise, and specialists, defined by pay. It is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that the employee fulfills the conditions to be granted a permit as a skilled worker or specialist. The scheme also covers seconded employees employed by an international company and trainees employed by an international company.

In order to take advantage of this scheme, your employer must be able to submit a tax certificate for value added tax and tax, and a self-declaration of compliance with statutory Norwegian health, safety and the environment (HSE) requirements.

Your employer can apply for a residence permit on your behalf without authorization. If the employer submits a complete application, i.e. an application with all the necessary enclosures, and a tax certificate and self-declaration as described above, the police can issue a preliminary confirmation that you may start working before the application has been processed. The Foreign Service mission can issue you an entry visa if required, provided that the police have issued a preliminary confirmation to your employer and you are able to document your identity.

You must meet in person at the police district where the application was submitted within seven days of entering Norway. There, you must document your identity and confirm the application submitted by your employer. The police will then issue you a confirmation that you are entitled to work for the employer in question until your application has been processed. You can start working immediately once you have obtained this confirmation.

If you are not subject to a visa requirement to enter Norway or if you already reside legally in Norway, you can submit the application to the police yourself. If the application is complete and your employer meets the requirements, the police can issue you a confirmation that you are entitled to work for the employer in question until your application has been processed. You can start working immediately once you have obtained this confirmation.

You may not change employers while your application is under processing.

The police can refuse to issue a preliminary confirmation to the employer or a confirmation to you if any of the criteria are not met. You have no right to appeal.

Persons who apply for a residence permit as a religious leader or ethnic cook are not covered by the early employment scheme.

Seasonal work is unskilled work that can only be carried out during limited parts of the year due to climate variations, fluctuations in the availability of raw materials or other circumstances. Forestry, agriculture, the fish processing industry, plant nurseries and the restaurant and tourism industries are typical seasonal industries. Odd jobs such as carpentry, painting and other maintenance and restoration work are not considered seasonal work.

If you are to replace an employee in connection with holidays, this must be clearly stated in your application. There is no requirement as to when during the year holidays can be taken.

Who can be granted a residence permit as seasonal worker?

There are no formal qualification requirements for a seasonal work permit, but you must have reached the age of 18 and have a concrete offer of employment. The offer of employment must contain a job description and state the number of working hours per week, your hourly wage and the duration of the offer of employment.

If you have held a permit as a seasonal worker for six months, you can only be granted a new permit as a seasonal worker after you have stayed outside Norway for six months.

If you have been granted several permits as a seasonal worker, with a duration of less than six months, the total period of stay in Norway cannot exceed six months during a twelve-month period.

The position’s requirements

As a rule, the work concerned must be continuous full-time employment, but it can be divided between several employment offers from the same or different employers.

The pay and working conditions must comply with the current collective agreement or pay scale for the industry. If no such collective wage agreement or pay scale exists, the pay and working conditions must not be poorer than is normal for the occupation and place concerned. You must be guaranteed a minimum hourly wage.

The Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration (NAV) must consent to a permit being granted (this do not apply for seasonal workers within agricultural and forestry). You get this assessment from NAV at county level. NAV assesses, among other things, whether the position can be filled by domestic labour or labour from the EEA area. In applications for permits for seasonal work in the agriculture and forestry industries we no longer need this consent from NAV.
