Hi Guys

I am Indian from Kolkata having experience as Telecom Engineer for 6 yrs  granted job seeker visa in 2011 currently living in Oslo.My visa is going to be expire soon but still didnt get any job offer and spent nearly £3000 for living here.I quit my job in India and can't get back into my job. 

So really worst situation for us who are planning to come to Norway as job seeker visa.

Man Norwegian employer are basically reluctant to hire non eu national.But if u come on job seeker visa u need a job offer from Norwegian employer in order to obtain skilled worker visa.So expensive country if u have enough money to travel then u can come here as job seeker visa n if u got any relatives then might u think about that they can help u out otherwise quite impossible to survive here.
