How to Work and Immigrate to Norway as a financial analyst

Step 1. Find a job offer with a Norwegian employer

The first step in immigrating to Norway as a financial analyst is to find a job offer. It is mandatory to get a job offer as the employer and work contract is part of the immigration process.

If you have friends in Norway, you can ask them to introduce you to employers and put a good word on your behalf.

If not, you can look for a job opportunity on websites that provide such positions. You can find a list of them in the below section.

Prepare a good and well-established resume and look for positions as a financial analyst. Of course, you need language proficiency and a profound resume to catch the employer’s eye. If they are interested in your resume, they will contact you for an interview. If things go well and you pass the interview and are qualified as a financial analyst, you get the offer. The employer signs an employment contract with you.

Bear in mind that having an employment contract is essential and is part of the work permit requirements.

Step 2. Gather the supporting documents

Once you have signed the employment contract, you need to gather some supporting documents. They are to prove you are qualified to work as a financial analyst in Norway.

You should prepare your resume, work experience, qualifications, and some forms and other documents.

Step 2. Apply for a work permit.

When you are done gathering the documents, someone has to apply for a work permit. He/she could be the employer of someone on your behalf. You, as the employee, could also apply for a work permit. But if someone from inside Norway applies for a work permit, the process will speed up.

The employer needs to complete a form called the employment form. You can find the form on the Norway work visa article from the right sidebar.

Norwegian immigration officials will provide a checklist of supporting documents to the person applying for a work permit. The employee must gather and send all of them to him/her.

You would better hurry up as it takes time until the Norwegian officials decide on the work permit application.

When the work permit is issued, the employee can apply for a work visa.

Step 3. Apply for a work visa

When the work permit is issued, you must apply for a work visa. The permit is the authorization to work and stay in Norway for longer than 90 days. The work visa is permission to enter the country. For working in Norway, as a non-EU national, you must receive permission to work before permission to enter the country.

Step 4. Gather the visa supporting documents

There is a list of supporting documents that you need to gather for a Norway work visa. You can find it on the work visa article from the right sidebar.

The Norwegian embassy or visa center responsible for visa processing could ask for further documents. You could ask them or see their website to see if ty have a checklist of documents or not. You must collect everything according to the instructions and prepare a copy.

Step 5. Schedule a meeting with the embassy or visa center

Schedule a meeting with the Norwegian embassy or consulate in your home country responsible for visa processing. It could be a visa application center as well.

The embassy could be busy, and you have to wait for your appointment. So you could schedule the meeting a bit earlier, but you must have enough time to gather the supporting document.

You must get to the meeting on the scheduled date and bring the supporting documents. Submit them to the officials and pay the fee for visa processing.

Step 6. Wait for visa processing

Wait until the embassy works on your visa to issue it. They will inform you of the decision and how to pick up your visa. They might send the passport with the visa to your address or you might have to pick it up in person. The way is up to the embassy.

When you get your visa, you can move to Norway and begin your work. But you must register your stay with the immigration officials in the city you will live.

Websites to find a job offer in Norway
