Part-time work

There are unfortunately very few opportunities for part-time work in Tromsø for people who do not speak the Norwegian language fluently.

International students, with the exception of Nordic and EU/EEA citizens, require a work permit from the police in order to legally work in Norway. A work permit is required for each employer and each part-time job the student may obtain. Work permit applications are processed by the local immigration office (police) with the approval of the Department of Academic Affairs. A processing fee of NOK 800 is charged by the police for each work permit application that is submitted.
