Department of Biomedicine – arrival information
Dear Researcher This brief information note will give some hints of what to pay special attention to when arriving Norway, and also some practical matters concerning the Department of Biomedicine.
Before arrival Please note that it may be necessary to apply for a Visa before arrival to Norway. Useful information of practical matters both before and after arrival to Norway can be found at the web page http://www.eracareers.no in the Researchers' Mobility Portal - Norway. (See also “Moving to Norway”).
When in Norway We strongly suggest reading of the “5-step roadmap for researchers coming to Norway” found at the page http://www.eracareers.no, which also contains a “arriving and settling in” section giving advice to customs, import duties and taxations, contact with the police, getting a personal ID-number, etc.
It is especially important to note is that within 7 days of arriving in Norway, everyone who receives a work permit must go to the police to register – take your passport! (see map included in the folder).
In addition, everybody must register to the Norwegian National Population Register (“Folkeregisteret”) within 8 days of arrival (http://www.skatteetaten.no) (see map included in the folder). They will then first issue a temporary ‘D-number’ (dummy number) used for identification until your unique 11 digit personal ID-number ("Personnummer") is issued after a month or so. While the D-number has a limited use for identification, the unique ID-number is the master key to resolving an array of practical issues upon arrival and settling in Norway.
Summary of things to do at arrival Visa if needed Contact the police for work permit Skatteetaten for issue of D-number and apply for unique ID-number
Arriving in Bergen – Department of Biomedicine
The folder contains a road map of Bergen and how to find the department. Also included is a scheme of the organization. For further information regarding the department please see the department home page at http://www.uib.no/biomedisin.
When arriving in Bergen and to the Department of Biomedicine the expedition at the 6th floor can help with practical matters concerning short-term accommodation, access to the BBB-building, Norwegian language courses etc.
