Topics discussed in this article:
Immigrating to Norway through work
Norway is one of the countries that issue Norwegian job search visa for applicants who have a degree in this country, or as a research, either freely and independently, or for a scientific and academic institution in Norway. After completing their residency, these individuals can apply for residency extension and job search in Norway. Applicants who apply for a job search in Norway for 1 year can apply for part-time or full-time jobs during this period, but in order to receive permanent residency in Norway, you must find a job related to your degree and university. (Norwegian law is similar to other countries that issue work visas.) The important thing about this one-year stay is that this period of stay in Norway is not part of the years of residence.
Another way to work in Norway is through the Norwegian Skilled Workers System. In this way, Norway allows the recruitment of workers who have a university degree, or have their own business. Other conditions that people need to log in via Skilled Workers include:
Have a valid job offer from a reputable employer, institution or company in Norway
The job offer that offered to the applicant must be a full-time job.
The field of study and the job that the applicant has must be one of the required jobs in Norway.
It is mandatory to have a university degree.
Proposed job income should not be lower than average.
Individuals who enter Norway through a Skilled Worker visa will receive a 3-year residency, after which they will be able to apply for permanent residence (PR) in Norway. In both cases, the person’s family is allowed to accompany them from the beginning and they also receive the residence permit.
People who change their job during this period for any reason have 6 months to find a new job.
Immigrating to Norway through study
Important Note: Studying in Norway will not result in permanent residency. Students wishing to obtain permanent residency in Norway must enter the labor market after completing their studies in the field of study, and after 5 years and payment of insurance and citizenship tax, obtain permanent residency in Norway.
Immigrating to Norway through investment
Given that Norway is among the most expensive countries in the world, there is no need to worry about investing in this country. This country is very strong in terms of economic and political stability, and there is no need to worry about investing in this country, and you will not see any harm in this. Due to its presence in the Schengen Union and Europe, Norway offers a lot of opportunities for investors, and people who invest in this country can easily see an increase in their capital. To invest in Norway, you need to consult a lawyer who is familiar with investment in this country in order to have a safe investment.
Immigrating to Norway through marriage
Migration through marriage is another major way to immigrate to Norway. Marriage to a Norwegian citizen can be a matter of residence for the applicant, but it is important to know the rules of marriage in this country, which are important for applicants. There is no difference between marrying a Norwegian woman or a Norwegian man, and in both cases it will lead to residency. One of the main conditions for immigrating to Norway through marriage is living together for 3 to 4 years, and proof of this must be provided to the Swedish Migration Board. This article has been prepared and written by the research team of Malekpour Institute (MIE Austria) and any use of it is legally contrary and legally forbidden. Having a home and a suitable job are other conditions for obtaining a residence permit by marrying a Norwegian citizen. If the marriage is formalized, the Norwegian government will punish both persons and expel them from the country.
Immigrating to Norway by childbirth
In international law, the citizenship system in each country is classified into two principles. Citizenship system based on right of blood and citizenship system based on right of soil. Explaining these two methods, it should be said that in countries where citizenship is based on the right of soil, the baby born in the territory of that country acquires the citizenship of the same country. For example, the United States, Canada, Brazil, and. Grant citizenship to newborns according to the same principle. In the second type, citizenship through right of blood, that is, a baby born receives the citizenship of the same country where his or her parents have citizenship. In most European countries, the right of blood is applied. In Norway, citizenship is transferred to children in the same way. This means that a Norwegian baby must have a Norwegian parent in order to obtain Norwegian citizenship by birth.
Immigrating to Norway through asylum
Asylum is the last resort in immigration. This is the most risky way to immigrate. Under the Geneva Convention, asylum seekers are persons who are persecuted in their home country for reasons such as race, religion, gender, membership in certain groups, etc., and seek refuge in a safe country in order to survive. Brad, who is afraid of being tortured or killed if he returns to his home country, is called a refugee. In this way, a person arrives in this difficult route and declares his / her status by announcing asylum based on the presentation of cases such as: change of religion, gender reassignment, social cases and political cases. The court upheld or rejected his residence for some reason. The Malekpour Law Firm (MIE Austria) has no activity in the field of immigration through asylum in Norway and recommends that you choose other methods of immigration to Norway because in this method the applicant is at risk of death or extinction. Money and capital are gone.
Immigrating to Norway by buying property
Persons of any kind have the legal right to own, occupy and invest in the country’s real estate. In Norway, the real estate agent is the seller and buyer. Its cost is usually borne by the buyer. It takes about three days to complete the procedure for registering a property in Norway. Overall costs include all property redevelopment costs – attorneys’ fees, notarial deeds, registration fees, taxes, brokers, etc. After a decade of steady rise in house prices, the Norwegian housing market is stabilizing due to strict loan rules and rising interest rates. According to Norwegian statistics, the total house price index increased by an average of 2.35% during the year compared to Q3 2019. As inflation adjusted, Norwegian house prices rose 0.69% in the third quarter of 2019. In the last quarter of the year, housing prices across the country actually fell by 0.8% (inflation rate -1.1%). The Norwegian applicant does not apply for a residence permit and can only invest in the country.
The cost of living in Norway
Norway, as mentioned, is a very high-level and prosperous country, and it is natural that the cost of living in Norway is higher than in other European countries. The most important part of immigration for everyone is knowing the current costs in the destination country. In this section, we look at some of the costs of living in Norway.
