2. Foreign employees with accompanying family members from non-Nordic countries that do not have a visa requirement.
3. Foreign employees without accompanying family members from countries that have a visa requirement.
4. Foreign employees without accompanying family members from non-Nordic countries that do not have a visa requirement.

• Information for employees looking for housing
• Do you have a bed-sit or apartment to rent out?
• The department can issue a rent guarantee declaration if the landlord demands a deposit. This is the guarantee that can be issued to private landlords and Utleiemegleren AS while the researcher waits for D number or ID number - which enables him or her to open a deposit bank account. 
• You can also submit announcements on available housing to the Bolig til leie/ønskes leid/Housing for rent/housing wanted message channel on Innsida. If you subscribe to the message channel, you will find messages under your "What's happening" link on your Innsida home page, as well as in "My subscriptions" in the right-hand column.
