Requirements of the employer
- Your employer must obtain confirmation from the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration (NAV) that it is not possible to recruit enough workers from Norway or the EEA to perform the job.

- The period you have this permit does not count if you later wish to apply for a permanent residence permit.
- You family is not entitled to residence permits to come and live with you in Norway.
