I was a seasonal worker in Norway last year. When can I return to Norway as a seasonal worker?


If you have had a permit as a seasonal worker for six months, you must stay outside Norway for six months before you can get a new permit as a seasonal worker. As a seasonal worker, you cannot be in Norway for more than six months during a 12-month period.  

We set a quarantine period of 6 months from the expiry date of the previous seasonal worker permit. If you can document – with a stamp in your passport – that you travelled out of Norway at an earlier date, we can set the dates for your quarantine period starting the day you left Norway.
