Hey Guys,

I am after some help if anyone has a fine tuned understanding of the Norwegian Visa System.
I am an Aussie who is on Holidays in the UK at the moment. I may potentially have the oppourtunity to work as a Northern Lights Tour Guide in Northern Norway. My dilemma is that I do not want to return to Australia to submitt my Visa and Permanent Residence application.

I understand from the UDI website that you can submit your Working Holiday Visa Application from within norway, however you must be a skilled worker. I am a professional Civil Engineer also, and i believe this is considered ot be so. Can I travel to Norway as a tourist from Australia, submit and application for a Working Holiday Visa on the basis i am a Skilled Worker?

Hopefully someone has been in a similar situation.

Thanks heaps!

Joe

Hi its only possible if the job you are undertaking is in your field of expertise and skill

So if you are a surgeon but was offered work as a care assistant then applying on basis of you skill no longer qualifies

So if you were to get a job as .....professional Civil Engineer ...then you can do everything from here

But becsuse you are working in a field way below you skills and expertise ....you will have to travel back and do everything from Australia

However pls do your research as things change every year ....

Goodluck

You can go to Caritas who will be able to give you more advice
