B&B business: self-employed is...

Post new topic

Thank you for you considering my question!

I am in South Korea  and  have a plan to run B&B in Norway.
Which category of  business do I have to establish?

I want to have a residence permit  doing B&B ,
Is it possible for this business  to get a residence permit?

One more,  Is it  easy for me to rent a house & apartment  where can be used for B&B?

as far as I know there's no such thing as a self employed visa. Here's information from the immigration authorities for Korean citizens

Assuming you can solve the visa question, why do you want to run a B&B here and where do you want to do it? Norway's actually quite a big country.

Getting the visa on this type of business will be a bit complicated, if not impossible. There are also a set of rules/laws regarding B&B and it is not easy to rent and then sub-rent for this purpose. The tax law in this area is rather complicated.
