Hi Everyone, I am a Nigerian currently in Nigeria and I'm looking for an unskilled labor job in Norway. It could be in the manufacturing, food, hospitality, agriculture etc sectors. Do Norwegian employers give job offers for these kind of jobs? Also, anyone who has a tip or advice for me should please respond. It will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hello Abdul_rda,


Welcome on board !


Please note that I have created a new topic on the Norway forum from your post so that you may receive some feedback,


I don't know much about it but try to search for opportunities on the websites listed in the Finding a job and working in Norway and by creating your CV in the Jobs in Norway section.


All the best

Thank you

typically long term unskilled labor does not qualify for a work visa, but maybe a seasonal visa? https://udi.no/en/want-to-apply/work-im … ers/?c=nga

No, means No. It would be pointless to appeal. Because it would be rejected.

A high-level manager (e.g. Hotel Manager, Travel Manager, Food Service manager) with a corresponding education degree might qualify.  The majority of hospitality jobs are unskilled.
