I am studying for a postdoctoral degree in Norway and my wife is accompanying me. Can I work? Thanks

Look at her visa, it says it on the visa. If you are able to work, it will indicate how many hours you can work per week. If your visa says arbeidstillatelse, you can find a job. arbeid means work, which is a work visa. If it is a student visa, you can check to see if there is small print on it stating the number of hours you are allowed to work. If there is nothing written, and there is no word arbeid, it is not allowed. If you still don’t understand, you can bring your passport to the local police station for consultation.
