Can dependents work in Norway?

Post new topic

Dear All

I am moving to Norway in June.

I shall be on dependent visa. Is there any possibility that I can work?
I see that the Norwegian website tells I can yet it isn’t that clear.
Also, some posts say that I need to get a permission from my spouses employer during the visa process.

Can some one give me a brief idea on this please?

It would be of a great help.

Thanks
Shru

Hello,

Be logic, when you are married with someone who's allowed to work in Norway, you're automatically allowed too.
