Skilled work permit application inside Norway

Hi everyone,
I have signed a contract for a job in Trondheim, and I am supposed to start the end of June. Given that I hold a Swiss stay permit, I thought it might be better to apply for the work permit in Trondheim, so I can ask for Early Employment Start. But I found that if I apply in the Service Center For Foreign Workers (in Oslo), the case processing time will be only 10 days. Is it possible to apply there given that I will be living in Trondheim? the UDI consultant at the phone said it should be possible, but on the application portal online it says that applicant should apply at the police station where he lives.

any experience/suggestion will be helpful.
Thanks

The processing time in Oslo is much longer than 10 days. Some persons I know are waiting for several months now. Better you apply where you live, it will be easier if you are asked for an interview or need to deliver additional documents

Thanks for your reply, I confirmed also with the local police that it is possible to apply in Oslo.

I will also ask for early start during my application, in case it will need longer time. The problem is that in my local police station no appointment is available before mid-July, and Trondheim is full of students that probably want to renew their permits, I think it is a better choice to apply in Oslo. I got a work permit before from Oslo in less than 10 days, so I guess if the application is complete it shouldn't take long time (hopefully)

May I know from where did you get the info that case processing time would be 10 days if submitting to the Service centre for foreign worker?

I read that to apply for early employment start, you need to provide tax certificate and self-declaration of compliance. Did you submit those documents?

Thanks in advance. I'm under the same condition as yours.
