Guide to waiting time for application for work immigration

In order to tell you how long you have to wait for an answer to your application for a residence permit, we ask you to answer three questions.

What type of application have you submitted?

First time application (do not already have a residence permit for work)

Renewal (of my residence permit for work)

Appeal (after my application was rejected)

If you already have a residence permit, but are going to change the type of work you do, please choose "First time application".

Can the waiting time for my application change?

The waiting time you find on our website is calculated from when you have submitted the documents for the application to the police in Norway or at the application center/embassy abroad. Here you can read what can make the waiting time change and how you can stay up to date on our waiting times.

The webpage www.udi.no does not work in the Opera Mini browser, which you are using now. Please use another browser, for example Opera, or the standard browser on your phone.
