Working on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS)
Offshore jobs in Norway are globally renowned for their exceptional safety standards, high pay, and favorable rotation schedules (often 2 weeks on, 3 or 4 weeks off). To work offshore in Norway, candidates typically need a valid health certificate for petroleum workers and basic safety training approved by Offshore Norge (formerly NOG). Standard OPITO BOSIETs are often accepted but may require an NOG supplement.
The UDI Skilled Worker Visa Process
Non-EU/EEA citizens require a residence permit for work. Norway’s Directorate of Immigration (UDI) grants the Skilled Worker visa to applicants who have higher education or completed vocational training (such as instrumentation, welding, or IT). You must have a concrete job offer from a Norwegian employer where the pay meets Norwegian union standards.
