Hi
I have an offer from a Norwegian company. I applied for work permit more than 4 months ago, but I have not received work permit yet.
Would you please share your experience for getting work permit and the processing time? Is it normal time?
thank you.

Hello Hamid,

Applying for work permit depends on country from which you are applying .

I had applied from UK as I am resident here and the entire process took less than three weeks to approve and biometrics.

I would appreciate if you could call up Embassy/immigration consultant in the country of application as processing wouldnt take more than 3 months.

Good luck!

Any idea on the current processing time for work permit? UDI is extremely slow and also there is no proper procedure to know the exact status. I'm yet to receive an response from UDI for my WP application applied three months before.

Another more worrying factor is, every month 13K NOK is gone wasted as rental for the past four months

. If UDI is not sure on the time required for processing, then they should not ask to submit rental agreement before hadn

It really depends, I got mine for 6 weeks.

two of my friends got it for a week only. Some got it after 2 and 3 weeks.

But, I got one friend who got it after 7 months.

Hi, I applied for Student Visa in Norway. I don't know how long is their processing time. Is there any news about those who already have their visas?

Hi again everyone, after 6 months....finally i receive the news that my work permit is granted by UDI. I must discuss with my HR though if everything will be ready and I can still go and work for the company. Hopefully things are moving faster and easier from here

Good luck for those still processing the work permit!
