As a student at a recognised institution at a university level in Norway, you are normally granted a part-time work permit with the first time-residence permit. When applying for a renewal of the student permit you need to enclose a statement from your educational provider that the work is not considered to interfere with your studies.
NB: Separate rules apply for citizens of EU/EEA countries.
Work permit with first-time residence permit
When you are granted your first-time residence permit as a student at an educational institution at a university level, you are also granted a part-time work permit automatically. This permit allows you to work up to 20 hours per week, and full-time employment during ordinary holidays.
The permit is not specified with respect to the type of employment and it is permitted to have several employers. You don’t need to document that you have a work contract.
However, if you are covering the susbsistence requirement by working, in part or in full, you need to include a concrete offer of employment where work hours and salary are clearly stated.
There is a fee to be paid for the application for the residence permit as a student, but you don’t need to pay a separate fee for the part-time work permit.
What are the requirements for renewal?
A part-time work permit is granted for the duration of the residence permit as a student. When you apply for a renewal of the residence permit, the work permit is not automatically renewed. To get your work permit renewed, you need submit a statement from your educational provider with your application.
This statement should assess whether part–time work will interfere with the progress of your studies. The reason for this is that the studies, and not the work, should to be the main aim of your residence in Norway.
There is no separate fee to be paid at the renewal of the part-time work permit.
Can I appeal against a decision?
If your application for a residence permit is rejected, you may appeal against this decision. If you appeal, your application will be re-examined by the UDI.
The UDI may reverse the decision and grant the requested permit. If the UDI upholds the decision, the case is sent on to the Immigration Appeals Board (UNE) for new consideration.
