Register with Immigration

In general, NTNU employees have to register within 7 days of their arrival in Norway at the Service Centre for Foreign Workers (SUA) or Police station depending on what is available in the city you live in. Guest researchers and researchers with own funds that will stay in Norway for more than 3 months need to book an appointment to SUA office or Police Station in within 7 days after their arrival in Norway. You should always select SUA office if you have several options. Make an appointment online to register.
EU citizens do not need to apply for a work permit, but need to register at the Service Centre for Foreign Workers (SUA) or Police station.
Non-EU employees that already have a work permit granted by Norwegian embassy/consulate, need to register at the Service Centre for Foreign Workers (SUA) or Police station.
The Norwegian Directorate of Immigration has a comprehensive portal that explains all about the kinds of immigration permits you need for your family.
