Work and Residence Permits for EEA Nationals
Does anybody know much about work and residence visas for EEA nationals?
The Norwegian embassy says one thing and the people at the utlendingsdirektoratet tell me another thing and then the NAV tell me yet another thing!
Add to that, there's been a change in the rules recently so it's all totally confused now.

Re: Work and Residence Permits for EEA Nationals
If you are an EEA national then you do not need a work permit. You can live in Norway for up to three months at a time (so if you go 'home' every three months or more frequently, then you don't need to think about anything except getting a personnummer).
If you plan on staying longer than three months then you must register with the police within the three month period.
As of 1st of January, there will be no requirement to register for a residency permit. This means that if you entered Norway on or before the 1st of October, then you must get apply for a residency permit no later than 31st of December (preferably as soon as possible). If you entered Norway after the 1st of October, then you do not need a residency permit.

But the UDI told me I can live and work for six months and when I went to the police station, they had no idea what I should register for and told me to go the UDI :s

These are three relevant links from the UDI. If you can't read Norwegian, find someone who can. It's a lot of information, and also very important. Even I'm confused by it!
