A permanent resident of Italy, if they are a non-EU/EEA citizen, typically cannot automatically work in Norway without obtaining a separate work permit. However, if the person holds an EU long-term residence permit, this might grant them more mobility, allowing them to apply for jobs in Norway more easily than those without such a permit.
For EU/EEA citizens, including those who are permanent residents in Italy, working in Norway is much simpler. They can work and live in Norway without a visa or work permit due to the European Economic Area (EEA) Agreement, which allows free movement of workers between EEA countries.
If you are a non-EU citizen holding Italian permanent residency, you would need to follow Norway’s visa and work permit requirements. Typically, this involves securing a job offer and applying for a residence permit for work through Norway’s immigration authorities.
For more specific cases, such as long-term resident status, checking with Norway’s immigration services (UDI) would be essential to understand the full requirements.
