The registration and ordering of the Start Kit is always done online. It is furthermore possible to purchase additional products on the first order. Payments can only be made by credit card.

The registration process can be completed by using the Internet site www.amway.no where the applicant, together with the sponsor, completes the Registration Form. The new Amway Business owner is registered at that moment and he/she can buy products on-line. The Start! Kit will be automatically included in the order. The Registration Form must be printed and signed by the applicant and submitted to Amway Finland, Carl Gustavs gade 3, 2630 Taastrup, Danmark within the first 30 days after registration.

International sponsoring is always an option and an excellent means of expanding your business while avoiding many of the costs and complexities associated with establishing a second business. Please note: For those markets where foreigners are able to establish a second business, they must be the international sponsor of their second business in another country.

Foreign Amway Business Owners who plan to have an active Amway business in Scandinavia must comply with the laws of doing business in the region. Foreigners may establish an Amway business in Norway either as an individual or by forming a legal entity, such as a corporation or partnership.

Available forms of doing business
– Sole proprietorship
– Partnership
– Branch
– Private or Public Limited Company

Business and tax registration requirements vary depending on which method of operating your business you choose and which country you choose to operate in. A local address, a local bank account and social security number for foreigners (D-number) are required.

Please consult your legal and tax advisors for specific formation requirements and information on which form of legal entity would be most advisable for you.

U.S., Canadian and EU country citizens do not need a visa to enter Norway if their stay is less than 90 days. However, they must hold a valid passport. The passport union holds minimal border formalities between the Nordic countries but passports must always be carried.
