First line service for Spania
As a Spanish citizen living in Norway, you have the same right to guidance and assistance as all other residents. There are several public services and programs available to support you if you encounter challenges at work, with housing, family matters, debt, social security benefits, or residence permits.
Some people face difficult situations in the workplace — for example, if an employer does not pay wages as agreed, if you are unfairly dismissed, or if your working environment is unsafe. If this happens, you can contact the Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority (Arbeidstilsynet) for advice about your rights. If you are a member of a trade union, they can also support you. And if your issue remains unresolved or you need help understanding legal rights and obligations, you can contact a lawyer for further guidance.
Help in Norway
As a Spanish-speaking resident in Norway, you have the same rights to support and guidance as everyone else living here. Whether you are dealing with challenges at work, in your family, with housing, debt, welfare benefits, or residence permits, there are public services that can help you.
If you have questions about residence permits, registration, work permits, or applying for Norwegian citizenship, the correct authority to contact is the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI). We can help you get in contact with them.
If you need information about sick pay, child benefits, unemployment support, or other social benefits, you can contact NAV, or our lawyer. If you have difficulty understanding the information, you have the right to ask for an interpreter and to receive assistance in a language you understand.
