Hi All,

I am planning to get the Work-Seeking Visas for Norway.
I am From India and I know English Language well.
Is It Difficult to get Job in Norway for Indians and to convert the visa into a work permit?
please advise.

Thanks,
Dax.

Hi and welcome to the forum Dax!

Maybe you should tell in what field you intend to work.

Hi..
I have done my Bachelors of Commerce from India and Hotel Management from Australia. Currently working in India.
But yet, there is no rigid view. I am flexible towards work.
Thanks.

Hi Dax,

I have also the similar qualifications, already in Norway for the 2 months,but no jobs yet, not even an interview,so you might get some idea how things are here, pls think twice before applying for here as the things are not easy at all here, I have been to australia and know for a fact that we can survive doing jobs here and there, but here in Norway on Jobseekers Visa,they won't allow you to do that,

It's not the brightest place to opt for,take care and don't waste your time and money for place like this.

Good Luck !!
