a member of the European Economic Area (EEA), Norway grants citizens of other EEA
countries the right to look for work for a three-month period without obtaining a permit;
those who find work have the right to remain in Norway for the duration of their employ-
ment. For other foreigners, it's very difficult and an application for a work permit must be
made through the Norwegian embassy or consulate in your home country before entering
Norway.
For help with looking for work, the best places to start are the
Norwegian Labour &
Welfare Organisation ( 800 33 166;
www.nav.no
)
, which produces a number of use-
ful free online PDF booklets, including
Living & Working in Norway
(which has a section
entitled 'How to Find a Job in Norway'); or Use-It (
