Norway: Increased Data Sharing and New Taskforce to Address Immigration Compliance
July 8, 2022
Norwegian government agencies, specifically the immigration authority (UDI), tax authorities, police, and border control, are now sharing pertinent immigration compliance data to improve interagency cooperation in addressing work-related crime. These data sharing policies comply with the General Data Protection Regulation. Additionally, the Norwegian government has created a new joint inspection taskforce (A-krim) that conducts randomized checks on businesses to target illegal employment in Norway. Employers are advised to ensure they are in compliance with all respective laws and to contact immigration counsel in case of questions on compliant onboarding processes.
