About NorgeStart

IMPORTANT: NorgeStart is an independent, privately made app. It is not a government app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Norwegian government or any Norwegian public authority, and it cannot submit applications or handle cases on your behalf. All official information in the app is summarised from public sources, listed at the end of this description and linked inside every guide.

Moving to Norway means paperwork in a language you may not read yet — from Skatteetaten, NAV, UDI, your landlord or your employer. NorgeStart explains it in your own language and tells you what you actually have to do.

UNDERSTAND EVERY LETTER
Photograph a letter or open a PDF, Word or Excel file. NorgeStart translates it, explains what it means in plain words, and lists the steps you need to take — including what happens if you ignore it. Payslips are broken down term by term.

ASK ANYTHING ABOUT NORWAY
Ask about tax cards, doctors, tenancy deposits, working hours, child benefit or driving licences. Answers are based on official Norwegian sources, with links so you can check them yourself.

GUIDES WRITTEN FOR NEWCOMERS
Work and your rights, taxes, healthcare, renting a home, immigration and ID, money and banking, family, studying, driving and everyday life — each written for someone who has just arrived, with its sources listed at the end.

PRACTICAL TOOLS
Work out your deduction using Skatteetaten's published tables, estimate your net salary, check holiday pay, and find the emergency numbers that matter.

NEVER MISS A DEADLINE
Deadlines found in your letters are saved automatically. NorgeStart reminds you two days before and on the day itself.

YOUR LANGUAGE
English, Norwegian, Polish, Ukrainian, Spanish, Portuguese, Lithuanian, Swedish and Arabic.

NO ACCOUNT NEEDED
No sign-up, no email address. Start using it straight away.

FREE AND PREMIUM
The guides, the tools and the deadline reminders are free. The AI features include a free allowance each month. NorgeStart Premium removes the limits for 39 kr per month, and you can cancel at any time.
