Hello Job Seekers in Norway, Despite of several request or queries received from many people regarding the life in Norway & seeking a job in Norway after coming in job seeking visa, I thought of sharing my experience in Norway about Norway job ...

Its impossible to find a job without the Norwegian language. There are people from Sweden coming here (Swedish is very similar to Norwegian, so they understand each other) and they can't find jobs, so you guys have no chance.. Get a job before you ... Read More


Living and working in Norway as a British citizen by emuzeg
Hi there, I've been researching some European countries to live and work in and have whittled the options down to a few, Norway among them. I have seen a few threads here that have gotten me worried, especially about the apparent requirement to be ...

Hi emuzeg, I'm Irish and moved to Norway last year and I had a very difficult time finding a job. Like you, English is my native language and I'm white and from a European country. However, this won't help you. The only way to find a job (and ... Read More

That's a good question but to be honest I think its to give everybody a fair shot at building a life in Norway. Everybody should do their research BEFORE coming to Norway, weigh up the pros and cons and then make their own decision. Just because ... Read More

Prem2012, I think what you wrote is interesting and true to a point but also hugely unfair to Norway and Norwegians. Yes it is very difficult to get a job in Norway as a foreigner. And yes, the main reason for this is language. I think that if one ... Read More


Registering with NAV by jm45
Hi, I've looked into working in Norway and coming from an EEA country (UK) it seems that I can come over for 3 months without getting a residence permit but that this will be extended to 6 months if I register with NAV. However, with more ...

Hi Jenny! Are you sure you mean to register with NAV? I have to say when I moved over here NAV were of no help at all. I wanted to register with them online so I could try and find a job but I couldn't do that without a person number, and I ... Read More


Moving to Oslo.... Big Step! by GuestPoster149
Hi everyone, So I have decided to take the big step and leave the UK, which I have been trying to do for the last 3 years. Ideally I wanted to move to Sweden as I had more of a friend base there. I have been offered an IT support role in Oslo and ...

Hi Marc :) It is a huge step! But I find Norway really suits me, so maybe it'll suit you too! Well I have to say its pretty stupid/naive to come here and just expect that things will be handed to you and that everything will somehow 'work out'. It ... Read More

Hi Marc! I moved here from Ireland last year and I thought the exact same, 'Can it be so easy and simple?'. And it actually is! Its easy for us because we come from Europe/EU, so basically as long as you have a job and can support yourself you can ... Read More


Jobs for English speakers by jm45
Hey, Just wondered if anyone had any advice regarding working in Norway. I'm moving over from the UK in August as my boyfriend is Norwegian and will be studying in Trondheim. At the moment, I'm learning Norwegian but certainly won't be proficient ...

Hi, I've heard that its both easy and difficult to get a job if you only speak English. In my experience it has been difficult. You have a much better chance of finding a job in a city (like Trondheim) because cities generally have younger ... Read More

Hi all, I am a graduate from Pakistan and considering to complete my Masters program in Norway at University of Bergen starting in autumn 2013. I will be looking for part-time work. Can anyone guide me on the following: 1- What types of jobs I ...

Its very difficult to get a job in Norway without speaking Norwegian first. Of course you need to pay tax, everyone does and its a high tax. A low paid job would typically take 36% of your salary as tax. It would be extremely difficult to manage ... Read More
