Frequently asked questions for Working Guest Norway:

Do I need insurance?

Working in Norway as a EU citizen, you become a member of the Norwegian National Health Service. This means that if you get ill during your stay, you will only have to pay a very small fee for the medical treatment at the hospital or the doctor (public health care). NB: The Norwegian Health Service only covers treatment of acute medical problems. It does not cover dental treatment or medical transportation. Since this is not an insurance, it will not help you if you for instance lose your luggage, get robbed or if you get ill and can not travel back home by public transportation.

What about travel expenses?

You must pay your own travel costs both ways to the host family's place. Remember to bring money with you in order to cover at least the first week's expenses, and be aware that Norway could be an expensive country for many foreigners.

I am not from any EU or accession country, can I take part in the programme?

This will depend on your country of origin, please contact us for specific information.
