Bureaucracy
This morning I completed TWO applications:
1. I applied to the immigration office for my residence permit using the form 'Application for an EEA/EFTA permit'. They estimate it will take 6 months to get the results. I should get a receipt in the post before then though.
2. I applied to the tax office for a tax card using the form 'Søknad om skattekort for utenlandske borgere mv.' which will give me a tax card and a D-Number. I used a salary estimate of XXX XXX NOK per year and ABB as the 'employer in Norway'. Hopefully this is correct. They said that if there were two applications in the system, when they attempt to enter the second one in the system, the first will show up and should not cause a problem. I should have my D Number in the mail within 4 weeks. To get a 'Personal Number' (the D Number is for temporary stays of 6 months or less) I will need to go back to the tax office with my residence permit once it arrives in 6 months.
The residence permit must be renewed every year, so I should be getting all of this sorted out just in time to start all over again! I was in the queue for 3 hours but I feel is was worth it as now I should be compliant with both authorities.
