Bringing workers to Norway for construction, infrastructure, or other project-based assignments involves far more than booking a flight. International companies must comply with a detailed set of immigration, labor, tax and administrative rules. At Enter Norway, we provide expert support throughout the entire process — from preparing your project team for relocation to ensuring full legal and payroll compliance in Norway.
Why Legal Compliance Is Crucial When Bringing Employees to Norway
Whether you are a main contractor, subcontractor, or service provider entering the Norwegian market, failing to comply with Norwegian requirements can lead to:
- Delays in project start-up
- Fines or sanctions from authorities
- Rejection of employees at job sites
- Lost competitiveness in public tenders
Enter Norway helps you avoid these issues by guiding you through every necessary registration, permit and compliance obligation from day one.
We also help you prepare the required documentation and registrations in advance, so you can remain competitive and avoid unexpected stops or punitive sanctions once your project is underway.
