if you want to work in Sweden or Denmark, you will need to be authorized in those countries. But, you might achieve authorization more easily if you can demonstrate you already are approved in Norway.

Can you speak Swedish or Danish? Dealing with the public you will be required to speak the language of the country you will be working in.

Hi, thanks for your reply, I've been told that I can't work in another Scandinavian country, just in Norway, I should ask for their corresponding authorizations or having three years working in Norway to get an automatic authorization.

Thanks for your reply, but that's is not my question. And no, I can't speak Swedish or Danish, but I can speak English and Norwegian which is very similar (people can easily communicate between these three languages) and would make me easier to learn it. Anyway I've seen some job's offers where English was required in first place, once you are there you have to learn the language obviously
