Do you have a family member living in Norway who you want to come and live with? If so, you may be eligible for applying for family immigration for

• spouses, cohabitants and fiancés/fiancées
• children and parents
• other family members

If you wish to work in Norway, you need a residence permit. 

• skilled workers
• seasonal workers
• those working in the arts
• other kinds of work

You can apply for protection (asylum) if you are persecuted or if you fear persecution or inhumane treatment in your home country.

If you wish to work while you are waiting for an answer to your application, you must apply for a permit.
