We ask you to book an appointment in advance: appointment to apply for a Norwegian course or Primary school by phone / WhatsApp here, or career guidance by phone here. You may also call us on 23 47 00 00, or send us an e-mail (postmottak@ude.oslo.kommune.no, write "Oslo VO Servicesenter" and what the case is about in the subject field).
The drop-in on Mondays may close at short notice.
Only those who already have an appointment there are allowed to enter when the drop-in is closed.
