I have recently received a job offer from a company in Norway, and my employer has submitted the work permit application on my behalf, including applications for my family members. Our intended starting date is during the first week of January.


I have visited the UDI (Norwegian Directorate of Immigration) website and noted that the estimated processing time for work visas is up to 4 months. While I understand that this is an average timeframe, I that possible to get work visa before 4 months?



Thank you!
