I'm not sure, but I wouldn't have thought so. You can read about the rules at www.udi.no. They have pages in languages other than Norwegian.

thanks :)

I don't think residence in another country gives you permission to work in Norway, although there is a special tax category for EEA migrants (for people who, say, live in Sweden and commute across the border)- are you planning on continuing to reside in Poland while working in Norway? Sounds difficult!

To the best of my knowledge, citizens of the EU are entitled to work in Norway; and Poland is an EU member. Check it out.

The op's profile says he us from morocco so I was going in the assumption that he has polish residency but not citizenship. In that case, dmcart's link is the best bet for basic info on how to proceed.

You're right, ECS. Sorry! I didn't think to check his profile.

You need to inform yourself by looking up this link:

It's the Norwegian labour and welfare administration. They offer a chat service too, and I'm sure they will be able to determine what you can or can't do.

Good luck!
