Skilled worker visa

Ayobami F. Adelakun

Please share your experience with skilled worker visa applications in Norway. Did you get it? Did you apply from abroad? How long did it take? Are you an EU or Non-EU citizen?


This will help others like myself who applied to have an idea of what to expect.

@Ayobami F. Adelakun I applied for skilled worker visa from abroad in mid-November and received approval on December 31st. I am non EU citizen.

there is no skilled worker visa for EU/EEA citizens- they can just register if they get a job with a Norwegian employer.

@Gulzhan BG Thank you, I have an employer from Norway and applied for a skilled visa on November 30 from abroad, I am hoping for a positive outcome.

Hi, I have a similar question. I am a non-EU citizent and have been living in Norway for 3,5 years (I was a Masters student at Ntnu for 2,5 years, 1 year as a job seeker). I got accepted for another Master’s program at UiB but UDI refused to give me visa for this program. That’s why I have to go home in February, 2023.

My current employer wants me to stay and work for him. He said he will send me an invitation to work for him as an ethnic cook. I will go home and study to take the diploma and apply for visa as a skilled worker to come to Norway again.

Has anyone gone through the same process? Or has anyone applied for visa as an ethnic cook? Could you please share your experiences?


Thank you!

Hi, congratulations.
