Rights and obligations of workers with temporary protection in Norway

If you have been granted temporary protection in Norway, you have the right to work.

At the same time, you cannot work while your application for protection is still being processed.

When you work in Norway, you have to pay taxes on your wages. That's why you need a tax card. A tax card tells your employer how much tax he has to withhold from your paycheck. You cannot apply for a tax card until you have the right to work and a place of employment.

You can find information on how to order a tax card on the website of the Norwegian Tax Administration (https://www.skatteetaten.no/person/utenlandsk/ukraina/#jobb-og-skatt-i-norge).
