After graduating from Norway, international students can apply for a post-study work visa under the ‘Residence Permit for Job Seekers.’ This permit allows graduates to stay for up to one year to seek employment. Applicants must have completed a degree at a recognized Norwegian institution and show proof of financial sustenance.
If securing a job, graduates can transition to a skilled worker visa. Norway also offers a ‘Residence Permit for Skilled Workers’ for those with relevant qualifications. The process requires a job offer meeting salary and skill requirements. Both permits provide pathways to permanent residency, depending on employment duration and conditions.
