0:37 No, we didn't gain independence in 1814. We *declared* independence because the twin kingdom of Denmark-Norway lost the Napoleonic wars and had to cede Norway to Sweden. Not something we where happy with, do we wrote a constitution and declared independence. Faught a brief war vs Sweden, lost and entered a new personal union with them. We only gained independence later after some more work. Our national day isn't celebrating our independence day but our constitution day.

Nice video, but come on guys. It is expensive, but so is the US. I have lived in California for a few months, and rents are superhigh in SF. Was about 24000 kr. for a small apt. in central SF, or Hyde st. You should look into buying power instead. The met. area of Oslo is 1580000 ih. hence more expensive. New York is more expensive than a small city etc. Same everywere. And, once you get to know Oslo, you will find cheaper places to eat, to have a coffee etc. And, luckily, you don’t need to add a huge tip like you do in the US. :-) Also, people can live of their wages here if they work in a restaurant, shop etc. And benefits if you have a baby, lose your job etc. is up to and beyond what you find in most countries, not to mention free education, hospitals etc. Be happy, and welcome to Norway.. :)

Free education? This is a classic misunderstanding and is hardly not correct even for the public universities. Have you checked out the tuition on private BI Norwegian Business School for example? The public schools charge just a symbolic tuition yes - but including the cost of books and equipment it's far from free. Cheap boardinghouses are hardly available and students have to pay heavy rents in the private market.

I really like the video, but will add that when large US metro area prices of major chains, small bars, hotels, restaurants and coffee shops are compared with Norway, Oslo and Bergen are often cheaper. I don't know where I can buy a mixed coffee under $5, and many venues charge around $10 for beer, with restaurants typically starting at $30 per person (fast food now is typically over $15 pp and can easily be over 20), and high dollar restaurants can easily exceed $100-150 pp vs higher quality Nordic food at $30-50 pp. Groceries were the same when comparing equally fresh and natural foods in the US, but in the US there are more low quality food selections for less money.

The equivalent in either currency compared to other countries. They doesn't take into consideration local jobs having a higher pay structure over the whole compared to the same job in another country. If someone is working remotely from the US or UK for example, they'll probably find their salary doesn't go as far in Norway than in their home country.

@ExpatsEverywhere
@ExpatsEverywhere 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the question, Maxwell. Correct us if we're wrong but you're asking, "Is it easy or hard for US citizens to move to Norway?" It is a tough one to answer because everyone's easy and hard is different. Here's what we can say. Americans can go through VFS Global for their residence visa. The Norwegian site has information found here www.norway.no/en/usa/services-info/visitors-visa-res-permit/ But if you notice, it is a Schengen country so if you're just wanting to go for a visit (not right now due to covid-19) Americans are allowed up to 90 days in a 180 day period visa free.

I know a few Americans and other foreigners that were accountants in their home country before coming to Norway. They were all deemed to high risk to hire as they are not considered familiar with Norwegian tax laws. Why take such a risk on a foreigner when there are plenty of Norwegians to hire that need no extra effort to train? My recommendation is to visit Norway and actually secure an employment contract with a firm before you even actually physically move to Norway. I recommend this to anyone also working in the field of law or in medicine.

Good question. It's pretty niche and certainly not in the scope of what we do, however, our advice is to research schools that you're interested in studying at, figure out what those fees are, and then start working on a student application. Once you've been accepted, you can use that acceptance to work on your student visa. This will get you moving.

Hi , I have a regionally accredited online high school diploma , and i really want to move to Norway, do universities in Oslo accept this kind of diplomas or no , thank you .
@ExpatsEverywhere
@ExpatsEverywhere 3 жыл бұрын
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! Unfortunately, we don't know the answer to something that technical. The best course of action is to contact the school directly and be sure to ask them if their university accepts diplomas from accredited online high schools and also if it's common in general for Norwegian universities to accept those diplomas.

you first need to send your papers to NOKUT. they approve or dismiss foreign education, and assess the compatibility/lack of compatibility with the requirements of different studies at norwegian universities and college universities (norwegian higher education). simply high school in the norwegian meaning of the word does not qualify as higher education in norway, hence your papers will not be assessed by NOKUT

Does Norway support kids with autism?
@TullaRask
@TullaRask Жыл бұрын
Well you have to live and work here naturally. Then we have a welfare state taking care of all people's needs, so I guess the answer is yes. We har lots of people with autism here, but naturally everyone want's more money and services, so they might not be the right people to ask :) I work as an assitant to a man with MS, and from what he can do on his own I think he's fairly happy with the help he has. I as an assistant would like a higher salary naturally.

Oslo is the Capitol from Norway since 1314 !
@ExpatsEverywhere
@ExpatsEverywhere 3 жыл бұрын
We're seeing Ósló from 1314 to 1537 then a switch in the Kingdom of Denmark-Norway making København (Copenhagen) capital from 1537 to 1814. After that, Christiania (now named Oslo) is the Kingdom of Norway 1815-1877. 1877-1924 an apparent spelling change, Kristiania (still Oslo), for the United Kingdoms of Sweden-Norway. Finally, after Norway became a separate state again, the city went back to the original name Oslo from 1924. Do you see something different?

@@ExpatsEverywhere Not as diverse as other parts of Europe. I'm not sure that's right. Our Parliament is very focused on including refugees, and send them to what ever community says yes to house and introduce them to our society. We use a lot of money on making them a part of our society. That means that they don't just settle in the same area as all their relatives and run an almost autonomous area in a country that isn't theirs from birth. They have to be integrated into Norwegian society and learn to live here as respectful and Law Abiding citizens.
