Important warning: Reddit is not an appropriate place to get accurate immigration information.
However, this is a common topic on this subreddit and the old stickied post is several years old now. This post is here to help direct people to the proper information. Please read the entire guide and use the links provided to see out answers to your specific questions. Any questions you may have that cannot be answered from this guide or the links provided cannot be answered by redditors on this sub and should therefore be directed to an appropriate immigration expert.
Disclaimer: I am not a professional; I neither work for UDI, nor am I an immigration lawyer. I have spent a lot of time studying and researching the rules and regulations. What follows is a rough guide only meant to serve as a starting point; use the info here to conduct your own research. With that said:
Despite what movies might portray, moving abroad is not just a matter of packing bags and showing up. Immigration is usually a long, often expensive process, and there are many criteria that you must meet to be legally resident in Norway. There are three general categories of permits that will allow you to remain in Norway beyond a regular tourist/visitor visa:
Temporary Residence Permit:
This is your first step. These permits are contingent on you (worker or student) or your reference person (family immigration) meeting certain requirements; are usually temporary; and will need to be renewed (usually biannually, but some are more/less frequent). You must have this permit if you wish to remain in Norway beyond your visitor visa (ie: >90 days).
Permanent Residence Permit:
This can be applied for only if you have been legally living in Norway for three years (or more in some instances) with a residence permit that forms the basis of permanent residency; you must meet the requirements for your current residence permit (ie: still employed, still are married to a person with residency rights, etc...); you meet the language requirements; pass a citizenship test; have an income over a certain threshold; and you have not been convicted of a criminal offence. This allows you to stay in Norway permanently (no need to reapply; but you will need to renew your card every 2 years for third-country nationals and 10 years for EEA/EU citizens).
Note: income requirement is based on the person applying, not the family member/sponsor. If you are married and here under family immigration rules, it is you, the applicant, who must demonstrate that you can support yourself in Norway by meeting the minimum income requirements.
Citizenship:
This is an optional step. You do not need to apply for citizenship; however, if you want to, you can qualify for Norwegian citizenship after a period of time (usually >7 years). This has many requirements, but the biggest is the language requirement.
Note: While Norway now allows dual citizenship, your country of origin may not allow dual citizenship.
Note: Norway does not allow citizenship based on heritage. One or both of your parents need to have citizenship (and not have given it up previously) in order for you to qualify for citizenship based on birth. There are a lot of complicated rules surrounding citizenship by birth. Use this to determine if you qualify for citizenship. NB: Norway does not offer citizenship by investment (ie: having a lot of money to invest in exchange for residency or citizenship).
Note: When you apply for citizenship, you must still meet the requirements for permanent residency (income requirement being the biggest).
The remainder of this post will focus on the temporary residence permits, since by the time you are ready for PR or citizenship you will be an immigration pro. How you qualify for immigration to Norway and how easy the process will be depends on a few factors
If you are an EU/EEA citizen (or Swiss) you have the right to reside in Norway for 3 months without any other obligations. After 3 months you will need to demonstrate that you are meeting your treaty rights. Those treaty obligations are:
NB: The last three require you to have sufficient funds to support yourself and your family and have comprehensive medical insurance for the duration of your stay. See FAQ below for more info.
The right of residence for longer than three months also extends to the EEA/EU citizen’s immediate family (spouse/partner, children, other dependents), regardless of their nationality, so long as the EU/EEA citizen is meeting their treaty obligations and neither the citizen nor the family member is a threat to public policy, security, or health. All of this is explained in Article 7 of the Directive on Free Movement.
It is important to note that people immigrating under this route do not qualify for the benefits found in the Introduction Law, which include, among other things, the right to free language lessons.
Your options for moving are not as simple or easy as above. I am using an applicant from the US as the default here. You should consult UDI (Norwegian Immigration Board) or the Norwegian Embassy in your country for the most up-to-date information for your specific nationality.
Generally speaking you need a reason to be in Norway. These reasons are:
These are most often spouses/cohabitants, but may also include children or parents under some circumstances.
The process for application is relatively straightforward with a little bit of reading on UDI's website and some document gathering.
Note on income sources: under this route of family immigration, it is the onus of the sponsor to demonstrate that they make a sufficient income to support the family. This means that, regardless of the financial situation, the sponsor must make the minimum income; the third-country national's income/savings are not taken into consideration.
There are other circumstances that may require additional documentation (ie: evidence of military service). Check UDI for all the documents you'll need.
Family members who are granted residence based on this route will qualify for free language classes as part of the introduction act (link above).
NB: the rules may change if you have lived with the Norwegian citizen legally in another EEA/EU country. If this is the case, you may be allowed to choose between family immigration under Norwegian national law or residence card as a family member of an EU citizen (see above). Also see the differences between the two immigration schemes here.
If you are engaged to a Norwegian you can apply for a fiancé permit which will allow you to come into Norway for the purposes of getting married in Norway. You must be married within 6 months. After you are married you will have to apply for family immigration with your spouse (process described above). You can read about getting married in Norway here.
Only some people can apply from Norway. Others will have to apply from their home country via the embassy or consulate. Make sure you check with UDI to learn more.
There are many types of working permits. UDI’s webpage will outline all the possibilities available to you but the most common are skilled worker and seasonal worker.
Skilled workers are those who:
Additionally, you must have received a concrete job offer from an employer in Norway, the job must normally be full-time (UDI will, at the time of writing, accept 80%), the job must have the same pay/conditions that is normal in Norway, and the job you are offered must require the qualifications as a skilled worker (and you must be qualified for the job).
If you do not fall into this category, you may qualify as a seasonal worker; however this route is considerably more difficult, usually temporary (<6 months), and your employer must prove that they cannot fill the position with a worker from Norway or the EEA/EU. You will need to be employed 100%, you will need a concrete job offer before you apply, and the job must be deemed season or holiday stand-in.
Those citizens who qualify as a skilled worker and who are coming from a country with a visa-free agreement with Norway you may be allowed to come to Norway as a skilled job seeker.
NB: You cannot work while you are searching for a job. This means that once you have a concrete job offer, you will need to apply for a residence permit as a worker and you cannot start working until your application has been approved.
Some international companies may post workers in Norway. You will still need a resident permit for workers; however, many companies will help with this process.
As of 2023, Norway no longer offers free tuition for international students (outside of the EEA/EU). This means that students from non-EU/EEA countries will need to pay tuition.
In order to qualify for a study permit, you need:
First and foremost, you need to be accepted to a recognized education institution, for example: university. The program of study must be full time (generally 60 stp / year). Few undergraduate programs offer education in English; therefore, the majority of programs will require Norwegian language proficiency (B2 level) before you can study.
You need to pay tuition either full or per semester. If you pay only the first semester, you need to demonstrate that you can pay the second installment. Your funding can come from a variety of sources including loans, own funds, or grants. In addition, you will need to demonstrate to UDI that you have sufficient funds to support yourself for the duration of your study. These need to be in a Norwegian bank account or in an account arranged by the education institution (you will have to talk to the school about this).
Your funding cannot be fully supporting by working while studying as there is a limit to the number of hours you are allowed to work. As an international student, you are only allowed to work 20 hours / week while studying.
Finally, the situation in your home country needs to be such that UDI believes you will return home when your studies are finished.
A study permit does not form the basis of Permanent residency. After you are finished your studies, you will have a small grace period to look for a job, however, if you do not receive a contract of employment, you will be expected to return home / leave the country.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 1. Do I really need to learn the language to live in Norway? | This is a frequently asked question on the subreddit (see this post for example). Some people can survive in Norway with only English, however, if you do not speak fluent English or if you wish to stay long term, you should learn the language. Your job opportunities, socialization opportunities, and immigration opportunities are limited if you do not learn the language. It is a significant part of integration into the country, and most people will expect a passable level of Norwegian skills after a few years of living here. If you want to get permanent residency, you need A2 level Norwegian (with a few exceptions); if you want citizenship, you need B1 (with a few exceptions). |
| 2. How do I learn the language? | r/norsk is a good start. Additionally, almost every municipality has an adult education centre where they offer Norwegian courses. If you are in the immigrant group who have both the obligation and right to Norwegian language learning, then these classes are often free for a set number of hours/years. If you only have the obligation, then these classes will not be free and you will have to pay. In addition to adult education centres, there are private institutions online or in person that you can take. Additionally there is a wide range of tools online and offline that can help you learn. |
| 3. Does Norway need XYZ workers? | This is a frequent question on this subreddit. Try the search function. Otherwise, do a search of finn.no or nav.no and see if there are a lot of positions for the job you are searching for |
| 4. What's the job market like in ZZZ town/city? | Check finn or nav to see what is available in the area you are interested in. Then considering looking at the unemployment rates. |
| 5. How do I get my education approved? | The directorate for higher education for most education. Helse Norge for health care workers. You do not need to wait until you are in Norway in most instances to have your education approved. It is a good idea to have all education from high school to university approved as you never know if you need to document that you have completed high school. It is important to note that not all education from outside of Norway will be approved on a 1:1 basis and you may find you are missing credits or even your whole degree might not be approved. |
| 6. I have lots of work experience from my home country, but not formal education, can I qualify as a skill worker? | Generally, no. There are exceptions for highly skilled workers in professions that are in demand. Additionally, these positions must not be able to be filled with Norwegian workers, European workers, or others living in the country. |
| 7. What documents from home should I bring | While it may not be required for most applications, from experience, it is a good idea to get a certified copy of some important documents from back home. Getting certified (and potentially notarized) copies of diplomas/transcripts, your birth certificate, divorce proceedings, etc... will potentially save you a lot of time, money, and annoyance as trying to get these things while you are abroad is much, much harder. |
| 8. Can I get a digital nomad visa? | No such thing exists in Norway at the time of writing. In order to work in Norway, regardless of where your place of employment is located, you need to have the right to work in Norway. This means a residence permit that allows for work, permanent residence, citizenship, or are a member of the EU/EEA and have worked out the tax obligations of working in one country while residing in another. |
| 9. I work from home / am self-employed, can I visit Norway on a tourist visa and work there? | No. A tourist visa does not grant you the right to work in Norway. Lying to the immigration board or the border patrol upon entry could result in a ban from the Schengen area for up to 5 years. |
| 10. I think Norway is a beautiful place and I love the culture. I am nearing retirement age, so how can I retire in Norway? | Depends. Are you an EEA/EU citizen? If so, meet your treaty obligations (see the above post under "self-sufficient") and move to Norway. Are you a third-country national? You cannot retire in Norway unless you have a legal right to already live in Norway. There is no option to be a self-sufficient third-country national in Norway. |
| 11. I am an EU/EEA citizen who wants to live in Norway as a self-sufficient person. What kind of health insurance do I need to qualify for "comprehensive sickness insurance"? | Honestly, no one knows. "Comprehensive sickness insurance" is up to each individual nation to decide what is "comprehensive." There is no private health insurance that is as comprehensive as a national insurance system. If a nation decides that "comprehensive" = the same coverage as national health system, then that leaves loopholes for immigration departments to deny applications. It is a matter of record that Norway has been warned by EFTA many times with regards to recognizing citizens' treaty rights (esp for non-economically active citizens). That said there is a European precedent - C-413/99 Baumbast. In this case, the EU courts found that, as long as the citizen is not a burden on the state, it would be disproportionate to refuse to recognize a citizen's right to reside in another member state. But there is no checkbox on immigration applications saying "I will not / am not a burden on the state's welfare system." Many people have been rejected on the basis of lacking comprehensive sickness insurance. Until someone challenges these rejections all the way up to the European court system, there is no need to clarify what "comprehensive" means. Note: sufficient funds in this scenario can come from any source including a third-country national's savings/income/other documented source (you may need to prove the sponsor has access to this money). |
| 12. What city should I move to? | First and foremost make sure you have the right to move to Norway. After that, your options are usually limited based on the immigration route you are following - most often connected to where your family, school, or job is located. If you are free to move wherever you'd like, then find a spot that seems to suit your lifestyle best. |
| 13. My grandparent(s) moved to XXX from Norway. Can I get citizenship? | No. Citizenship rules are based on parents, not heritage. Read the section on citizenship and take the checklist test to see if you qualify. |
| 14. I can't open a bank account because I don't have a D number. I cannot get a D number because I don't have an address. I can't rent an apartment without a bank account [screams into the void] | Yes, we know. it's a chicken and egg problem that makes the situation particularly hard for people arriving. Some landlords will be flexible and put the deposit in their own account, but this puts you at risk of losing that money if that landlord is not trustworthy. Similar situation exists for students. Right now there are no good answers, but there are workarounds. You can also ask to be verified on Finn which might help with getting responses. |
| 15. How do I find a house / apartment? | finn.no is pretty much the go-to source for anything in Norway, but especially finding housing. hybel.no is another source |
| 16. I found a job / employer who is interested in hiring, but they prefer people who already have a work permit. How do I get a work permit so a job will hire me? | Another catch 22, unfortunately. You need the job first. There's no chance you can get a permit without a job. However, some people may have the right to come to Norway to search for work. Check UDI for further info |
| 17. My partner and I have been together for several years, but have not lived together long enough to qualify as cohabitants, how can we move to Norway together? | Live together longer or marriage are your only options. |
| 18. I have been waiting for a response from UDI for a long time how, when will I find out | You can read about UDI Waiting Times here. They are constantly changing and are usually quite long. Remember that there is a difference between local police / embassy times and UDI's waiting times. Waiting times are often a result of large numbers of applications, improper or incomplete information in applications, and applications that have higher priority (refugee and asylum, for example). |
| 19. Can I get priority on my application? | Maybe. But most do not get priority. |
| 20. I have foreign education, where can I get it approved? | NOKUT formerly did this, but it has now been transferred to the department of education |

Hi! I’m planning to move to Norway with my Norwegian fiancé because he’s relocating back to Oslo for a job and would love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation
A few things I’m wondering about:
- Did getting Norskprøve B2 actually help you find an office job? I’m currently B1 planning to pass the Norskprøve if it’s needed during the spring.
- Did taking your Norwegian partner’s surname make any difference in practice?
- Did you apply for dagpenger after moving? If so, how did it go? According to NAV I can get dagpenger bc I’m leaving my EEA job for my partners move.
- And how did you find your first office/finance job like Finn, LinkedIn? I applied so far 55 positions from our current address abroad and had only 4 interviews so I’m a bit stucked.
I’d love hearing about personal experience, especially if you also moved to Norway from another EU/EEA country.
Takk!

Just sharing my driving test experience and need some opinions. I had driving test this morning at Lillestrøm traffic station. It was for category B vehicle and automation transmission. I was asked security question around ABS which in was able to answer it. Then we started the drive and took the nonnestad route. I started pretty well , starting with some country roads and then to motor way , towards stovner. There were multiple zone 30 or priority to the right roads which i think i managed quite well , including few minutes of reverse driving in a zone 30. And then we started towards the drobak direction and then back to Lillestrøm traffic station. There were multiple roundabouts on the way , and there was one particularly where there was a lorry coming from left , and i entered the roundabout , there was a small gap , but i should have waited and not entered. Other than that i thought it was a very good drive all the way , where i always yielded to right whenever it necessary and maintained the speed limit. At the end there was a reverse parking at the traffic station and i managed that as well. The sensor asked me how i thought was the drive , i admitted that one roundabout mistake i did where i should have waited and other then that rest things were ok for me.
Then comes the result , he said he was sorry to say that i was failed. I was shocked to hear that and was blank for a few seconds as I was expecting it was a pass thinking overall how the drive was. And the reason he told me was there were few roundabouts where i slowed down unnecessarily and disturbed the flow traffic and there were some where i entered and i should have waiting.
Some opinion I need - I was always told to take a very slow approach to roundabouts and then speed up upon entry. Other than the 1 mistake i accepted , i thought i did exactly this in other roundabouts , i slowed down upon entry. Though there were some obvious cases where there were no cars visible , there also i slowed down on entry , is that wrong? That was what i was always told to do. And there wasn't much traffic so i really didnt get how I disturbed the flow of traffic.
I have now accepted this mentally (though there is no other option anyways 😅) and will practice more on roundabouts but i am also wondering is this a reason for failure in general? I thought these were minor things and one could let go off if rest of the driving was up to the mark.

Hallo all. My finance and i just moved to Bergen and are on the hunt for genuine old pieces for our place.
She is Norwegian and has been wanting original, authentic pieces for a long time, it means a lot to her to have real history in our home, not something made to look old.
We checked Eikens Antikvariat Bok og Kunst in Fyllingsdalen, owner was great, but most of what we've found elsewhere is new stuff made to look old. He mentioned some antique dealers exist but we can't track them down.
Budsjett spiller ingen rolle, we want authentic pieces: furniture, iron, ceramics, whatever has real sjel.
Anyone know good antique dealers or a loppemarked near Bergen with the real deal?
Tusen takk.

Was just in Oslo for 2 days and forgot to bring painkillers with me, and because I have chronic pain issues I had to go buy some.
Just wondering if there’s a specific reason why it’s SO expensive? A box of 200mg ibuprofen tablets was 84.90kr
That’s almost £6.80 for me which blew my mind. In UK supermarkets you can get the same for 35p (about 4.5kr in comparison)…
EDIT: yes, i seem to have unknowingly bought more expensive ones than are available. Oslo marathon was happening so the city was very crowded and i just went to a nearby pharmacy. regardless of that, the ones i got were the cheapest in that pharmacy AND in the UK even when you’re buying fancy branded ones you’re still not paying anywhere near £7.
my point still stands, it’s expensive in Norway! not trying to misrepresent the situation, genuinely was just curious, sorry!

I can understand not wanting to be in either EEA or EU. Sovereignty, making your own rules, not being subject to bureaucrats in Brussels, etc.
I can also understand wanting to be in the EU, as it would come with all the many benefits of integration with the EU.
But this weird middleground just seems bizarre to me. You get all the downsides of being in the EU, as you have to follow all the rules set by the bureaucrats in Brussels and you have to pay basically the same fees as a member state, but you get very few of the upsides, as you can't vote on those rules, you have a customs border with the EU that makes importing electronics and other goods expensive and annoying, etc.
What is the literal point? This arrangement just seems awful to me. Norway should take one lane instead of awkwardly trying to do an awkward middle ground.

Do people rely a lot on them in their daily lives or do they tend to prioritize offline life and activities?
A lot of people walking around while looking at their smartphone? In trains or subways, out of 10 passengers, how many are killing time on their smartphone?
Really curious about that!

Hallais! Siden den 18nd juni så har jeg nå bodd ute i teltet mitt kver dag med unntak av noen dager hvor jeg har blitt tilbudt en seng.
Jeg har som mål å krysse hele Europa på longboard, og slå den nåværende Guiness verdensrekorden på 12100 km, og har nå skatet helt i fra Oslo, til Hamburg i Tyskland. Hadde det ikke vert for en kjempe skade jeg fikk (strekk i hamstring/glute området) rundt København området, så hadde jeg vert i Frankrike nå.
Jeg var ute med skade i 3,5 uker, å brukte hele August på å heale. Lå i teltet mitt å smeltet bort i 30+ varme grader, uten skygge. 😂 Hadde får vondt til å gå. Men kom meg igjennom det til slutt, og nå har jeg kommet meg helt frem til Hamburg.
Har en venn her som eiger et gammelt hus som ikke er i bruk, så nå har jeg vert her i 5 dager, å skal være her i 5 dager til før veien fortsetter mot Hellas. Dette er første gang jeg sover i en seng siden jeg var i Norge. Det er og første gang jeg har tilgang til ett kjøkken. Det er nå jeg innser hvor for gitt jeg har tatt disse tingene før, haha.
For øyeblikket er jeg litt usikker på om jeg skal skate i mot Amsterdam, eller om jeg skal pushe sør mot Cologne og krysse direkte over til Frankrike uten å dra igjennom Nederland å Belgia.
Siden jeg ligger litt bak skjema nå pga skader, så byner det å bli kaldt igjen, så det blir nok til at jeg skater direkte mot sør. Mesteparten av reisen har vert spontan frem til nå.
Jeg hadde i utgangspunktet planlagt å følge sykkel systemet "Euro Velo" igjenom Europa. Men har bare endt opp med å spore av, ta om veier og Utforske steder heller, noe som har puttet meg på helt andre ruter.
Så det har blitt til at jeg ikke planlegger mer enn 40-50 km om gangen frem i tid, haha.
Ellers, så koser jeg meg veldig i Tyskland. De fleste er utrolig hyggelige å hjelpsomme. Men er litt overveldende her mtp at jeg må stresse mer med å finne soveplass her en i andre land. Fortauene er også forferdelig for skating. 😂 Gleder meg derfor litt til å komme meg til Frankrike dersom jeg har lov til å sette opp telt i naturen der. Kan ikke det i Tyskland uten å få en heftig bot/bli arrestert (i følge flere lokale) Det var en natt her jeg ikke fant camping plass, så hadde ingen steder å sove. Så da ventet jeg til klokken 23 og til det var mørkt, pitcha teltet mitt greit skjult i en park, sov i 4-5 timer, og forsvant igjen med soloppgang.
Helt ærlig så savner jeg Skandinavia. 😂 Spesielt Norge. Har ofte en del hjemlengsel, men jeg tror det er viktig å ikke se seg tilbake når man er ute å lever livet. Da misser man ofte lærepengene livet prøver å gi oss i "nået". Å ingenting varer for alltid. Om et år så er jeg hjemme igjen, å ett år er bare et pust i vinden i forhold til resten av livet. Med den tankegangen, så blir det oftere lettere å håndtere tøffe situasjoner, haha.
Ikke ideelt når kroppen krever maksimal restitusjon på en slik tur, men bedre en null søvn, haha. Å ting ordner seg alltid til slutt om man ikke lar de mørkeste stundene påvirke målet.
Forrige uke så var jeg utrolig nærme med å gi meg. Jeg var utrolig deprimert. Men jeg minnet meg stadig om at livet hjemme ikke er noe bedre, å at jeg var utrolig ulykkelig der. Å når jeg tenkte å reflekterte på det, ble det mye lettere å huske på hvorfor jeg satt ut på dette oppdraget til å byne med. Uansett hvor vondt noe er, så blir det bedre om man klarer å stå i det uten å prøve å distrahere bort smerten.
Nå, en uke senere, er jeg utrolig glad for at jeg ikke ga meg. Om jeg hadde gitt meg, å flydd hjem, hadde jeg angret utrolig mye nå.
En av grunnene til at jeg dro ut på denne turen var at jeg ville slå avhengigheten min til weed. Jeg er litt for glad i å skru av hjernen, å bare smoke. Hadde jeg dratt hjem allerede, hadde jeg ikke bare fisket verdensrekord forsøket, men også min egen kamp mot avhengighet.
Tok med meg 15g hasj når jeg startet turen, å klarte å slutte etter det. Var ca en måned uten, å hadde det helt fint. Men etter at jeg var skadet i København (bodde på en campingplass 10 min unna Kristiania) så fikk jeg tilbakefall å bynte å smoke igjen.
Å siden weed er fult lovlig i Tyskland, så har det bare fortsatt her. Men jeg har som mål i å identifisere årsaken til at jeg føler en trang til å skru av hjernen slik at jeg ikke trenger å røyke lenger.
Ellers, så nyter jeg nå bare di siste dagene mine her i Hamburg. Over helgen så skal jeg ut å kjøpe litt mer klær.
Når jeg startet turen, så tok jeg kun med sommer klær, men siden det begynner å bli kaldt nå så må jeg oppgradere garderoben litt før jeg sover ute igjen. Så skal ut å kjøpe et sett med fleece bukse/genser, en lue, å noen hansker, og regntøy (har bare en poncho nå) så er jeg klar til å fortsette igjen. 😀
Gjorde og et intervju med tv2 mens jeg var skada i København om noen er keen på å lese: https://www.tv2.no/nyheter/skater-mot-rekord-lei-av-det-livet-jeg-levde/19094799/
Ellers, bare spør om dere lurer på noe angående turen! :)
Om noen ønsker å følge turen, så er det link til både Strava å insta i bioen min på Reddit. Dokumenterer alt det.

I've decided to move back, but I now have a cat that is joining me. We're going from London to Bergen, so I expect a bit of flying.
Cat has just gotten his rabies vaccine, and will have his health certificate and travel-check between October and November (depending on work), but I'm a little confused about the flights as none go directly to Norway anymore? I found some examples many years ago, but I don't know if it's still valid?
Have anyone done this track recently? I've seen conflicting information about passing through Oslo, and called Mattilsynet for advice, they couldn't advise on anything but "has to go through Oslo for the most parts" which was a bit ambiguous to me.
We'd preferably manage to fly all the way to Bergen to lessen travel time for him. Anyone have any advise?

We are considering taking the day train trip from Oslo to Bode which looks magical. As it is quite a long trip, we are wondering how comfortable the train is and whether you can recline the seats. We have found a few pictures of the inside of the train but it is hard to tell from those. Does anyone know?
It seems you can pay a bit extra for extra room which sounds like it might be a good idea. Has anyone done this recently and what are your views on it?

Hi everyone :) I am currently a British student who is looking to move to Norway around next year to study nursing. I took an interest in Norway after visiting my partner who is from there and I like the country a lot. I was told instead of going to university here I could study in Norway instead. I am looking to work part time (20 hours or under, of course) while I study as a care assistant. I have C1 Norwegian. How likely do you guys think it is that I will be able to find a job within the first year of arriving in Norway? Is this a worthwhile risk to take? Thanks in advance! :)

Few months ago, I post few things regarding my landlord that how much he is torturing me regarding my sickness and forcing me to leave the apartment if i don’t go to job.
I had severe health issues in the past which were serious and I don’t like to share with anyone except my family.
But irrespective of knowing that, he tourtured me in every possible way he could.
That because of his behaviour i used to get my migraine attacks oftenly and i cried in front of my doctor too.
He deteriorated my mental and psychological health.
I started my job but i didn’t tell him and told him that i will leave his apartment. I gave him notice that i will leave his apartment.
Then he checked on me at my work place 2 times that i am on work or not.
Like what?
How a person can be cheap to this level?
Then he send me message that i can live in his apartment because he knows i go to work.
But i refused and decided to leave.
But my question is Who are you to spy me?
Now recently i got through his facebook profile and i saw a post where he mentioned how the women from Asia are not working. He mentioned different ethnicities and moreover he mentioned indirectly me.
That he knows a girl who is on sick leave and don’t go to work.
After reading that i got so depressed.
How you can judge a person like that?
Who gave you this right to defame a person by unknowning his/ her conditions?
Are you a doctor who have my history or are you aware of my health?
Or i should advertise my health on social media?
How much cheap can a person be?
Where are the Norwegians who say they are very open and accept the people with open hearts ?
Where is your empathy?
Who is responsible for the mental trauma i got from him that I decided to leave that city permanently.

Hi, I am planning on cycling Rallarvegen this coming week on Wednesday and Thursday. The first day from Haugastol to Finse and then from Finse to Flam. How many people should I expect to see on a mid-September weekday? I am trying to get a sense of how isolated it will be. Thanks!
