Interested to know if there are plastering jobs with good pay rate in Norway

Hello,

I suppose there are some, but I get the impression there is increasing competition for those sorts of jobs.

as dmcart already pointed out here:

Norway is not a cash-based economy and it's very difficult to do anything if you're not "in the system". You can't have the all-important FNR if you're not registered in the system, and without that number you can't do many basic transactions.

You might want to also read this thread, about people who DO have the right work here coming and expecting a worker paradise, only to be sorely disappointed:

this isn't a cheap country and for someone who's not part of the system and trying to find under-the-table work, I think it will be very hostile indeed.

I require a skilled plasterer for about four weeks plastering work in Norway, which could lead to more contacts and work.

Its called black work as its very shady. I wouldnt even risk it, the Norwegian immigration division of the police is massive for a country of 5 million and they deport over 14,000 people without papers per year. Norwegians dont like it so its constantly reported and hardly happens. I have seen ilegal car washes hidden away from main roads etc but they were clearly temporary
