I visited western Norway for 2 weeks in July 22’. We stayed with friends who drove us around to spots like the southern tip. Norway reminded me of the Rocky Mountains in the US, except wetter. I am retired, not liking the frantic pace in SoCal. How would I go about living in Norway for about 6 months of the year? I have a pension and health insurance. Would the easiest way be to rent a place then drive across the border before the 90 days expires? Thanks for responding.

In reply to Shan. I’m thinking about this as well! Maybe we can compare research, notes, thoughts. It sounds like set employment income which I also would have would qualify for “employment” to get a work permit. I can also work from anywhere for tech companies as I have been doing and even transfer to a role locally in Norway (Microsoft). I would like to get a property there to start the process. ~ Carina

My spouse was born in northern Norway, Bodo, moved to the US 35 years ago, and am now thinking about moving back to Norway and bringing me as his second spouse. He speaks Norsk and Svenska fluently plus German and English. He
gets a pension from Sweden for working there half of his life and SS from the US. Would we have any problems with our plan?

In reply to David Nikel. USA and I have looked, and reread it all many times even."Other types of family members who may apply are parents who have children in Norway". In my past experiences children has been used to specify "a child who is underage". So thats not clear to me if it can apply to adults. I may be over thinking this due to an experience bias. But it would be nice to know a solid answer before I contact UDI.

In reply to Patrik. You don't say where you are from, so the easiest thing to do is check yourself on www.udi.no

In reply to Brian Christensen. It depends on your country of citizenship.

In reply to David Nikel. Are you sure about this? I think it's 90 days out of 180.

In reply to Stan Logan. No, you will need a job to get a work permit.
