Moving from Norway to UK

Post by ice_breaker » Sun Aug 26, 2012 2:02 am

Hi everyone,

I am going to get married in October with my long term gf this year. I am based in Saudi and shes Norwegian. She dont want to move Saudi (rules too strict) and I dont want to move Norway (too expensive and + few job opportunities in my field). So now we have decided to start our life from scratch in UK (not bother about getting the Norwegian passport)

2 Questions:

-- Since we will be moving UK, I would like to know how long does it takes to get spouse/dependent visa in Norway?

-- Will I be allowed to work without any restrictions in UK?


THANKS IN ADVANCE :)

You would apply for an EEA family permit to enter the UK. You can apply for this at any UK visa post located throughout the world.

Not sure what your question is. You want to get a Norwegian visa in addition to the UK visa?

Answers above, but an application for a UK issued family permit might help matters.
