The most common work permits and visa routes for Indian professionals seeking employment in Norway are the Residence Permit for Skilled Workers and the Job Seeker Permit. The specific route depends on whether you have a job offer before applying.
- Residence Permit for Skilled Workers: This is the standard path for Indian professionals with a confirmed job offer from a Norwegian employer. Your qualifications must be relevant to the position you are offered.
- Job Seeker Permit: In rare cases, skilled workers who have specific connections to Norway can get a permit to stay and search for a job, but this route isn’t common for Indians applying from India without prior ties.
