Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about working in Norway
How much can I earn working in Norway?

Do I need to know Norwegian?
No, Norwegian is not required for most jobs. Basic English is sufficient. In many industries (construction, fish factories, warehouses) even English is not necessary.
What documents do I need?
