The standard government processing time for work permits in Norway has recently increased from approximately eight weeks to three months. This delay is expected to affect the onboarding schedules of foreign workers, making early application submission crucial for employers and employees alike.
The increased processing times are primarily due to:
đ¸A higher volume of work permit applications.
đ¸Administrative backlogs within the immigration system.
đ¸Extended Waiting Periods: Employers must plan for longer lead times when hiring foreign workers.
đ¸Delayed Onboarding: Workers should anticipate a longer wait before starting their employment in Norway.
đ¸Strategic Planning: Employers and applicants are encouraged to submit their applications as early as possible to avoid disruptions.
The processing time has increased to approximately three months.
A high volume of applications and administrative backlogs have contributed to the extended processing times.
At present, Norwegian authorities have not announced any immediate measures to address the delays.
Submitting applications as early as possible is the best way to minimize disruptions.
There are limited options for expedited processing, and each request is evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Given the extended processing times, proactive planning is essential for both employers and foreign workers. Keeping informed of any updates from Norwegian authorities will also help navigate these delays efficiently.
