Working permit is rejected

It's difficult for non EU citizens to get the approval as far as I know. Are you considered a 'specialist' in your field? Your employer should be able to guide you through the process.

Salam, Persianguy

I guess the reason is not your nationality, but you should definitely speak to your employer, they should be able to help you.
I also had some problems because of not being an EU citizen, but this was a different case and all I needed was to ask for a second opinion, since different clerks working at UDI had different views of my "problem".
But, since you got rejected by the police, I suppose you can't ask for second opinion, you are dependant on your employer and their help.

Hi,

I am just wondering how long it took to get your work permit?

Hi All!

I'm from Indonesia and I got a work offer as well from a Norwegian company. I applied for the work permit and submitted all documents on the 12th of September 2013. So it's been two months and yet still need to wait the response. I just finished my degree and I have no other job at the moment so it's quite frustrating.

On top of waiting, I tried to do some researches on how can I speed things up. I came up with something called the "early employment scheme" which is written in the UDI website. It says one need to report to the police office and request for this letter, so I conclude that we will need to come to Norway anyway.

I see that there's a chance that my request for this "early employment scheme" can not be granted. At the moment however, I have an entry visa issued by the Norwegian embassy in my country.

- Would it be too risky if I still go to Norway to try to get this scheme?

- Is it true that different people in the police station can give different answer?

- Do you think my employer can really help this to work out?

Thanx a bunch! I'm sure many great guys in this forum can share something. smile

Cheers,

Hello,

I doesn't sound like a good idea to come here without everything place. It's so expensive to be here that most people cannot afford it unless they are working. You also don't want to end up in some kind of trouble.

From what I hear, they are very slow at processing visa applications. In general, the public sector here lacks a sense of urgency, and everything happens at its own pace. There is also a problem in that different people will tell you different things, and then nobody will take responsibility and you will end up worse off. It might be possible for your employer to help speed things up, but I don't have any experience of this. Perhaps someone else on the forum knows more.

Good luck,

David

Hello David,

Thank you for sharing your view!

Other members of this nice forum also suggested that in this situation it's better for me to wait. Some effort to make the UDI process my application faster can also be done on top of waiting. My employer told me that they will also check this, so perhaps they can do something about it.

Hopefully luck is on my side
