Get your next steps
You get a first indication of your options. Our advisers can go through it with you and prepare your application.
Read the rules first
An assessment gives a first indication only and is not a decision. Residence permits are decided by the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (Utlendingsdirektoratet, UDI) or the police, and appeals by the Immigration Appeals Board (Utlendingsnemnda, UNE). The rules can change, and Nordic Relocators is not a law firm.
