On October 1, 2007 four public institutions will open a common service centre at Tøyen in Oslo. At the centre, migrant workers will get help in applying for resident permit and tax deduction card on the same premises.
Currently, migrant workers who come to Norway have to contact several offices to get the necessary information, permits, and documents in order to be able to work in Norway.
To make it easier for work migrants, the police, the UDI, the Labour Inspection Authority and the tax directorate have established a common service centre for migrant workers. The centre is located at Hagegata 28 at the Tøyen centre in Oslo.
An important goal for the centre is to make sure that the migrant workers that are very much needed by Norwegian industries can start working as soon as possible in Norway.
The service centre will have the users in focus. Everyone who contacts the centre shall have information about their rights and obligations and also have the necessary applications processed in order to start working in Norway.
The centre shall serve
* EU/EEA citizens
* citizens of non EU/EEA countries who have residence
or will be applying for residence in the country
* family members of the two categories mentioned above
Those who visit the centre should be able to get
* first-time work and residence permit
* renewed work and residence permit
* tax deduction card
* D-number
* information concerning the four institutions’ respective areas of specialization
Within five working days, those who contact the centre can expect to be given a work and residence permit and a tax deduction card.
The centre shall also receive and forward applications from migrant workers that cannot be processed there.
The UDI shall primarily provide service and guide users on issues relating to work permits and therefore be a supplement to the police. The UDI employees could also process applications that are of very urgent needs.
