Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring my family?
Yes. Family members (spouses and children) can join you and have the right to work in Norway.
Does this lead to Permanent Residence?
Generally, no. Time spent on an ICT permit is usually not qualifying residence for Permanent Residence, as the assignment is considered temporary.
Can I switch to a regular skilled worker permit?
Yes, but you must usually apply for a new permit if you find a different employer in Norway. ICT permits are tied to the specific corporate group.
What is the maximum stay?
The maximum stay for managers and specialists is 3 years. For graduate trainees, it is 1 year.
Is an ICT permit easier to get than a skilled worker permit?
It is often faster to process if the corporate relationship is well-established and 'Early Work Start' is used.
