If the worker submits the application for a residence permit


It is not possible to ask for early employment if you hand in the application for a residence permit at an embassy.

  1. The worker must ask for early employment start when they hand in the application for a residence permit to the police.
  2. The police can then give a confirmation that they can work for this employer/client until their application for a residence permit has been decided. The worker cannot change employers or clients. 

Please note! After the police have sent the application to UDI for processing, it is not possible to get a confirmation of early employment.
