In reply to Cory B. i thought this website was about immigration to Norway. leave it to americans to turn it instead into a self-centered rant of untruths and arguments about immigrants in the USA. so…. typical.

In reply to Retired. Retired, you sound like the typical liberal suffering from TDS. Everyone who lives in a free society owes gratitude to the young men who gave their lives for others benefit. Humans can be the most evil living creatures on earth, and giving the opportunity they will enslave you, ie. North Korea, or many Muslim countries. Asking people to be self sufficient is not cruel or wrong, work is good for the soul and teaches people values and morales. Borders, law and order are essential to a stable society. If you hate America so much and think that it’s racist,, go look at Norways immigration policy or Japan, Korea, China, etc,,,,

In reply to charles a cottrell. You are listening to racist lies on Fox, which is an entertainment network, by their own words in court, not a news outlet. They said it themselves, "not a news network."''

I am a U.S. citizen with 93 % Norwegian Ancestry and 7% Swedish and Danish so I think that makes me a Nordic. My great Grandparents (paternal and maternal) immigrated to the U.S. during the 1800s. I visited Norway in 2007. Because of all my families’ traditions and customs I immediately loved Norway, especially visiting my ancestors’ former home towns. I would love to move to Norway, but unfortunately I am now retired and can’t meet the very strict requirements to move there. Meanwhile I live in Arizona only 8 miles from the southern border and it’s hard to believe that the U.S. just lets people walk across our border and disappear and never even try to assimilate.

Dear Mr Nikel,
After having lived in Switzerland for nearly 50 years, I would like to move back home to Norway.
I still have a few years until retirement (is it 65 or 67? I’ve heard both). I tried to get some info from NAV about pensions and welfare, but was ping-pongued between three different departments and the result was not concluding… Would you happen to have any information about NAV’s requirements to obtain welfare, unemployment and pensions. About the latter, I suppose that my Swiss pension can be transferred to the Norwegian fund…
Any feedback about this would be greatly appreciated.
The only information I got was that everyone need a Bank-ID and that I would have to physically move to Norway before I can apply for any social benefits.

Sincerely,
JF Krafft

You are mistaken about Nordic citizens moving within the Nordic countries. One just goes to city hall, not the police, and present one’s papers. You have to be a citizen of one of the countries. Also, I would think it would be nigh impossible for someone from the US to come and start up a business. I have never heard of such a thing. For retired people, you must look into tax before moving. You will not have a right to much pension here, as you haven’t paid in to pension. If you come from outside the EU, I don’t think many living on a pension will get a recidency permit. If you are not used to winter, I think coming as an elderly person will be hard. There is a lot of snow and ice everywhere. You got to be born here to navigate it, and drive in it. It’s not easy.

Yes but if you’re in that position, there are many nations you could choose

So long as you’re not going to be a burden on the local kommune, you’re fine but then again, what will you get for your contributions to folketrygden if you’re not allowed to be a burden? If you’re retired, you’re of an age where you will soon need care
