Work permits for football players may be granted to players who possess skills that are hard to find in Norway and will therefore reinforce the main team of their new clubs. The first-time permit is granted for until one year.

Since the transfer window opened July 1 and stays open to August 31, the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI) and the Football Association of Norway (NFF) wish to clarify the conditions for the work permit for football players.

Requirements for the permit
To be granted a work permit as a football player, the following conditions must be met:

The player needs to be involved in sports on a high level. This means that you need to be offered work for a club in ‘Tippeligaen’, ‘Adeccoligaen’ or the main league for women.
The skills of the player must be deemed absolutely necessary for the club with regards to continue their operation, or in relation to increased ambitions at a national or international level. In general the player should be of a quality that is hard to find in Norway, and the player should be a reinforcement of the main team of the club.
The player must have a work contract that gives him/her an annual salary equivalent to civil service pay grade 1 (NOK 182.400). If the club covers housing and food, the value of these benefits and the salary must together amount to NOK 182 400.
The work permit is connected to a special job and a particular work-place. In cases where a club has several teams, this implies that the work consimt is connected to a certain team, usually the main team.
The contract should as a general rule be for full time work
