Go to our guide to waiting time for au pair permits.
Many people want to have an answer to their application quickly. However, very special circumstances are required for your case to be moved to the front of the queue.
Most applicants must apply though an embassy and wait for the answer in their home country.
You may only hand in your application in Norway, or enter Norway before you have received an answer to your application, if you qualify as a skilled worker and have legal stay.
You can move in with your hos family before you have received your Au pair permit, but you cannot begin to exercise your Au pair chores before UDI has granted you residency permit.
You have to report your new address to the National Population Register (external website) as soon as you know you will be moving. The UDI automatically receives your new address from the registry.
If you are in Norway, and you move before your application has been processed, you must notify the police that you are moving no later than one week after you have moved. You can notify the police where you are moving to, or where you lived before.
If you are abroad, and you move before the UDI has processed your application, you must notify the embassy or consulate you applied to. If you fail to do this, you risk not receiving the answer to your application.
