​
Are prior checks required?
Yes.
As a citizen of the EU/EEA, you have a right to practice your profession temporarily in Norway, without prior recognition. However, this principle does not apply to professions that have implications on public health or safety. If your profession has such implications, the Norwegian authorities may require a prior check of your qualifications. Prior checks involve an individual evaluation of your qualifications, to assess, among other things, if there are substantial differences between your qualifications and the requirements for practicing the profession in Norway. A prior check is consequently a sort of preliminary recognition. You cannot practice your profession in Norway before the competent authority has made a decision.
​
Case processing deadlines:
​
The recognition office must respond to the applicant within one month of receiving the application for recognition. The recognition office must have completed its consideration of the application within three months of the application being complete.

Right of appeal:
​
You have the right to appeal against the recognition office’s decision. The decision can be appealed pursuant to the provisions of the Norwegian Administration Act Chapter VI.
The right of appeal also applies if the recognition office has exceeded the case processing deadline (see Case processing deadlines above).
