Daughter just moved to norway, advice please? :-)

What we usually do in situation like this is to login to the udi website several times a day to see if someone have given up their spot. If you're lucky, sometimes you could change your appointment to a much earlier date.

I'm having the exact same issue and my situation is exactly the same..Didn't expect this really as it only took me 3 weeks to get the work permit number in Spain..

Ask her to check the online portal EVERYDAY for available appointments.  Sometimes people cancel their appointments and suddenly there are available ones very soon.

there are relocation companies who help people with the process and they will prebooked A LOT of appontments no matter if they need it or not.  I know because my company assigned one for my case.  I remember I could literately go to UDI any day.

when these companies don't need the appointments, they will cancel them the day before or the day itself.  so all the suddenly LOTS of appointment slots available.

Hi,

Firstly do as the others say and check every day.

I was lucky, I had a job offer so avoided the whole UDI experience part so I only needed to register with the police. It took 2 attempts and a lot of very strange conversations!

One piece of advice I would give is make sure she takes every bit of paper possible to her appointment. My partner had to write a letter to say I was going to live in his house with him as there was no contact / house sale.

Once you have paper from the police you can apply to the Skatt (tax) to get a D number. That's another whole set of appointments.

Good luck!

Thank you so much for this useful information! Can I ask, do you speak Norwegian?
It seems rather complicated for me to get a job if I don't have a certain level in Norwegian in most cases B2) even if I am a language teacher (English and Spanish).
And true, everything is very slow..

Hi,

Yes I do now and was learning before I moved here a little. I was lucky that I have quite a unique skill set and actually had many years experience in that field just missing the language.

With regard language many people struggle to get a job without the holy grail of B2. Again being English is a huge advantage, it's not to do with language more football!

NTNU have a fantastic free package (use a pc) and Duolingo helps lots. Allot of people learn better Norwegian by doing shop work where you get more experience.
