- Edit: I am not removing comments that talks bad about immigration. I agree we can have different opinions on the subject. BUT I will not tolerate racism or any bad comments or crap-talking towards muslims. That is just not right. If you want to comment about immigration being bad for a country, do so politely.
Information from an American that moved to Norway. Immigration process, visa information, information about the Immigration Directorate. This is quite a lot of information, in a long video. It was important to me to give you the information I could based on the source I had. This will not help everyone, but it might be a good start and at least help some of you.

Hey all Norwegian learners!
The language I'm teaching is not Bokmål nor Nynorsk. It's an east dialect and I don't think you will have much problem with bokmål after this. :) And everyone will understand this.
I am Norwegian, from Norway. Born and raised. I live in Oslo, with my husband and son.

SAS lost my bag. Many days later, a kindly Norwegian young man, desk clerk, asked if I'd like a Norwegian speaker to telephone for me. He yelled at them in Norwegian. My bag arrived at the hostel by 0500 the next morning. :-) I sent him some books from Amazon in appreciation.
+John Palmer ah :) im glad someone helped you :D
Ja, takk. Jeg skal reise til norge 15 desember til 15 januar. Oslo, Lillehammer, Trondheim, og Sykkylven. So now I am studying my Norwegian diligently. :-)
Hej Norske Lærerinde:) Er det nemt som Dansker at få arbejde I Norge hvis man ikke har fancy papers? eller meget uddannelse? Altså jeg har masser af uddannelse i psykologi og antropologi empirisk. Fitness Intruktør osv. Men jeg er mest til fysisk arbejde. Jeg er halv Norsk men Dansk statsborger. Tror du det er nemt at finde et job som 37 årig mand. Stærk. 184 cm. 94 kg. Muskuløs. Blond/Blå Øjne. Er det svært få job med langt hår? jeg har langt gyldent hår. Og er Musiker. Men tænker lidt om de er friske på god arbejds kraft der kan forstå Norsk 100 procent skreven og 95 procent snakkede? Jeg er ligeglad om Jobbet ikke er fint. Men bare man tjener okay. Ved du hvad man tjener på et typisk Ufaglært arbejde? Eller går alt arbejde til Polakker og andre? Vi er jo alle fra Norden:) Og ligner en Nordmand. Så håber ikke jeg spørger for meget. Havde Norsk kæreste engang. Lang tid siden. Meget sød pige. Hej fra Jarl:) Og tak for din Video her. Altid godt at se og lære noget. Men hvad skete der med hendes forhold og mand? Gik det bare i vasken eller? Fandt jeg aldrig ud af? Takker og håber du svarer mig. Vil rigtig gerne arbejde I Norge. Tror ikke vi behøver pas? I Norden sammen osv? Nordisk union?

I was an exchange student in Norway and I am considering on moving to this land. Thanks for your video.
I wanna have my traineeship after finishing my master's degree in Norway if you can and I would like to ask you something question. Please you can provide me your email or WhatsApp if you can.

Based.
Have you moved to Norway?. I'm just curious.
Thank you (both!) for this thoughtful video! It is great to see an example of what one person has experienced, and I know that everyone's story would be unique for them. I find this particularly interesting because my great-grandmother came to the US from Norway many many years ago. I wish I could afford to travel to Norway, it's beautiful! Happy New Year!
hei, can some one guide me about the online application process "freedom to information" or right to information ?
my dream place to visit, norway!
same as mine
You are welcome here in Norway
baby marshmellow been there, I'd love to go back.
Dream place to visit? Norway?? I'd say don't bother. There's not much to see there and the people are overhyped af. They are not the nice fun cherry folks they're portrayed to be and their weather is bad (especially in Oslo), their food is bad, and Norwegian guys typically have really brown teeth and bad breathe. Actually you'll find Norwegians are boring, mostly narrow-minded and dim witted. You want to have fun and meet beautiful fun people and see beautiful places in Europe? Go visit Croatia or Montenegro or Latvia or even Portugal.

My story is a little bit different but yeah I am married to a Norwegian. Cute worn out party story as well. He studied in Prague, I am from Czech Repubic, we were both drunk and he called me, after me introducing myself at least 3 times, Veronica. No can do! I am a very proud person. So I left, wrote an angy drunk pm (Something like, I dont care of you dent think I am good enoghtj to remember!), he reply (Do you wanna have just fun for just one night?). Hahaha. Next morning appology arrived and I said (consider the fact I was constatly broke and hungry) Okay, you can show me ayour better manners tonight over a dinner. I didnt give it much more thought then that I save some cash just there. But when he picked me up. Goosh, he was so cute. Btw. I said exactly the same: Oh, you are reeeealy tall. And year after that we got married. I was 21.
Now, about UDI. I completely agree. It is a mess. I am talking just about my personal experience here. First time we went there, in Trondheim, waited for 3 hours (just engaged in that time) and they told me I had to either find a job (which was very difficult withou Personal number) or leave the country, and the fact that we will be married is not changing a thing. Anyways we`ve got married and moved to different town. We went to UDI i Sarpsborg. Now we were married and I speak so so norwegian. The lady told us, we have no chance on getting me oppholdstillatelse (not sure how its called in English) because I have no reason to stay in the country (other than my husband, person I promised to stay aside for my whole life). I had no job, no school and my husband as a student couldnt take me on family visa becuase he wasnt earning over 250.000nok/year. I`ve got completely paralized. We left. I have decided that this cannot be happening to me. And that I AM NOT LEAVING MY HUSBAND. I went there next week, on my own, the same lady told me that there is nothing I we can do other than finding me a job or him earning like doble of what he had. I cried. She told me that it was not appropriate and that I had to leave. So I was crying the whole day in that little Sarpsborg. I think I got like 3 years older that day. I was shaking and just not well.
After my husband find out how she treated me, he called them and yelled at them in Norwegian (which is so not him, he is this calm always happy person). She said we should come again to UDI (just so you know, we were really stuggling with money, noone wanted to hire me without personal number, we just moved and had ca 100nok/week for food, and that is really little, so all those travels there were also costly for us). We came and she told me that I could go every 3rd month to Sweden and ask on Swedish border to get stamp to my passport or that I could try to apply for some school. Btw she never said she was sorry.
So I applied for school, got in, got scholarship and loan and had a good school expirience from different country. I didnt plan on going to school again but it was really fun.
Now I am staring my own design studio, my husband is halfway done with his school and has very well paid job. So we actully have like a 1000 nok/week for food. Which is a miracle! I have been poorest in my whole life in one of richest countries of the world. Life is just paradox.
Norway is awesome. I feel home here much more than in my own home. But I wouldnt recommend to annyone to go through this administration bullshits without a big reason - huge love story would be good enough.
Good luck to everyone.
hi I am from Pakistan my family baloch we need city citezenships in Norway how can apply in citizens . Plas tall me my .younusmajor@yahoo.com my call #in Pakistan 0312-2355738
with God everything is possible
Yeah, the bureaucracy here is nonsense, and the people who work there are bitter and cynical, I think they want them that way. A lot of young people that get educated for jobs in social services often end up quite shocked when they start their job and are immediately told NOT to help people but to make it as difficult for them as they can, which is the opposite of what they where trained for, hence young people don't last long there. I assume a similar culture exist in the UDI, because these people assume you're trying to exploit the system before you even walk in the door. It's the same for Norwegians that have to deal with NAV, it's a nightmare.
Glad it worked out though, good story, and good luck to you.
helo your contari name
Marie Aune my Sweet Thor.. feeda story.
damn I could've stowed away on freighter ship out of Seattle Wash U S. got to Bergen Norway looked up I realitives in the time it would take to hear your story
We went to Oslo in December and had a great time. Very nice place and some really nice houses. Uploaded a video about it last month.
What if I am a career specific and want to move to Norway for work? Marriage immigration is typically the easiest way to be accepted. But not every person is as lucky as Rachel to have a Norwegian fiance who was constantly fighting for their unity. I still remember how difficult it was for me to go through the work visa stuff in the US but everything happening in the country is very disappointing, I visited Norway 2 weeks ago, and it is absolutely amazing to work in architecture career, as well as having a balanced life.
Its my dream to move in to Norway, i live in Hungary, i am 21 years old, and i am baker, i work in a bakery industry. Bosses are disrespect us, and we are very underpaid (180k HuF, 100k HuF only for rent a little flat with few rooms, and i did not eat and etc..) I am already learning the Norwagian language and i really like it! I hope my dream will comes true, and i will be a happy person. God bless you all!:) Jeg elsker norsk 🇳🇴
Szia! Sikerült kijutnod?
Wow thank you for this, such an informative video. I moved to Norway 4 months ago and before I arrived here I was already watching your tutorials and it came in very handy for me and I'm still learning. Me and my bf are stressing so much on our options for me to be able to stay in norway, i'm currently on an au pair program which i think is very helpful to familiarize myself with the culture and stuff but after the contract ends we might need a new plan. Me and my bf has been together for 19months, we met back in the Philippines when he was still working there and he wanted me to come along and the best option for now is to be au pair and hoping for the best in the future. And again just want to say im really glad I came across your youtube channel and this video is really helpful for people like me. You're doing a great job! Tusen takk!
Girl Summers Thank you so much! I really hope it works out for you and that you find a solution when your contract ends! Best of luck to you!
Thank you, Karin and Rachel for this video! I'm not sure why, but I've had this feeling deep in my heart to need to go to Norway recently. It is the same feeling that I got when I decided to become a professional mermaid, so I am not taking it lightly.
It is very helpful to know that there may be some complications with the immigration offices. While I'm not 100% sure I'll be moving there anytime soon, I would like to consider it if any Norwegian aquariums that I reach out to would like a mermaid to perform for them as an occupation. The idea randomly popped into my head while I was at work today, and I haven't been able to let it go! Even though I'm terrified of people and have never been alone, this feels like something that I need to do. Ugh. I'm rambling now, but anyways... thank you both again so very much for this!
(Rachel, I hope your career is going well for you, by the way! It sounds like it would be an exciting field to get into!)
I was just scrolling down when I came across this dime piece of a comment LOL.
I've been contemplating moving to Norway for a while now, Even started learning the language for a good half a year. I'm still relatively terrible in the language but, oh well.
If you did achieve that spur of the moment dream of yours I really hope you inform me as I've been wondering If I could work as an authentic fortune teller.
Well, if you are a mermaid you should be aware that the sea is very cold in Norway, especially in the winter, obviously. You might be better off swimming round some Pacific island in the sunshine.
Thank you so much for this well thought out, informative video! I found it quite helpful.
I'm Norweigan living in America. As of right now. I MUST GO TO NORWAY ONCE I TURN 18
Matt FC so lucky, trust me, you won’t miss this place, only relationships you’ve created with locations and people. Otherwise, you’re unbelievably better off in Norway. You know, where people actually want to help people. Or at least from what I’ve been told. Everyone here in LA are miserable.
@@imfunaplaymahgames8880 Living in the US fucking sucks. After I wrap up high school, I'm gonna find work and save up so I can move to Norway. I don't care how many hoops I have to jump though to get Norwegian citizenship, I just wanna get the fuck out of America. Norway is a beautiful country, with hard-working and productive citizens. I aim to be the same
I’ll leave the Netherlands for Norway at that age as well. I’m gonna study there first and then get a job and live there forever.
MassiveGat Good luck dude, hopefully everything will work out for you as well.
@@solivagant1170 Same to you. I also hope to study and maybe get married, who knows. What are you going to study?
Thanks for the video! This is exactly what my son has experienced. He's been in Norway for three years and loved every minute.
So natural and so perfect and instructive in many aspects, thank you!
Great job, ladies!!! Very informative and I look forward to sharing the language videos with my children as we hope to visit someday and visit the areas our family immigrated from. Keep going on the videos!
Truly, Paradise on Earth! I hope all Scandinavians know that what they have is so wonderful that people like me can only dream of one day seeing it in person. I can only hope to see these places at least once before I die. Perfect scenery, perfect culture, and arguably the single best society system on Earth. Viva Scandinavia! Greetings from Brazil.
reggiegroove And it's being destroyed by the islamic invasion.
***** Lol, I know that man, but you see, as a Brazilian, the hot weather and the so called "friendliness"are precisely what I want to run as far away possible from. hahah. I love the cold, smart people, who mind their own business, but who can have an enlightening conversation when needs be. Opposite of my country.
Carlos Saraiva Que legal Carlos. Alguns alunos meus já visitaram ou moraram nestes países e a grande maioria como você, adoraram também. Também quero muito conhecer Portugal. Os vejo como modelo em muitos quesitos socioeconomicos culturais e religiosos tb. Claro que seu que lugar algum é perfeito. Mas como você disse, eles têm algo com o qual me identifico batante.
Sergi O It really seems that way doesn't it? I only know of the current situation from what I can get in the media but it sure seems like there´s a chance they will revert to isolationism a bit after these massive waves of religious fundamentalists.
+reggiegroove hahah then move to belarus or finland they dont even speak =)
Your friend Rachel from America has a Roskilde poster in the background haha. I am an American and went to Roskilde (that same year of the poster) while visiting family there. Currently looking into visa situation...thanks for video
Alexander Teague Hey Alexander! My husband played at Roskilde that year! :D He is Binaerpilot :) Small world!
very VERY helpful video. Thank you Karin for posting this!
Hey lovely, thank you so much for all the video, that's so nice of you to help us. I'm trying to study Norwegian as best as I can and try to look for some scholarship to move to this country soon! Hope to hear from you,
Love from Vietnam!
Van Thanh EU Good luck with your learning :D Let me know if there is anything missing in my lessons! New videos every tuesday! :D
Thank you Karin, I appreciate the work you put in your videos. Very informative and interesting to watch! =)
VacivityLove thank you so much :)
I remember I asked UDI the same question twice, if I could come and apply from Norway. First answer was like - "don't even try to gamble". In the second answer, after I described my case in all details, they replied that i'm eligible to apply for visa from Norway.
It's important to give all the details of your case.
I highly respect your intellectual and informative cast, especially your alluring green t-shirt which helped us focus and listen every word cautiously you are a great teacher.
Hi there. Thank you for this very informative interview!
Interesting informations and story as well from Rachel :) even though my case is mostly not similar..
I've moved to Oslo about 4 months ago, I'm a Norwegian citizen, but lived most of my life in Morocco, so basically I'm an immigrant.
Fortunately in my 1st days things weren't really difficult for me, I registered myself at the national registry, had to get social help because I've fled alone, done it, and some other issues in which some people I know have helped me in, and that was ok :)
Personally I quite like Norway, I don't mind it being completely different from my mother land, because it's positively different, people are nicer than I've expected from before, I had not bad of negative thoughts and ideologies changed after coming here.
Actually, because I have to pay for my courses; my problem is to find a job which doesn't require much knowledge of Norwegian, it's not easy in my opinion, unless you speak the language (or, cleaning jobs might be the only solution for me...)
Nowadays I try to develop my Norwegian language knowledge, eventhough the process is a bit low.
What do you think about chances of having a job? What I should really work on?
Thanks!
Marwan jacob Thank you for shareing your story! It's great feedback! :DAnd there are other ways to learn norwegian than through expencive corses. There are a facebook group "learn norwegain - lær norsk" join it! Ask someone for guinding, there are lots of great people there! And start with my videos, there are TONS to learn from! And when you can show a boss that you want to learn and have made an effort to learn on your own, I think that will help you a lot! :) Good luck!
Norwegian Teacher - Karin you should learn to write english if you you're going to post in english
Iain Low you you're !!!!
Amazing Bro
Great video but for anyone who is doing this now or in the future the UDI family visa charges are much higher now, I recently paid 5200kr and the renew fee is 2300kr.
Very good input! Thank you!
How long did it take you to get your Family Visa?
At this point in time its about a 8 month wait, though bare it mind it could change especially if you are applying over a time of year when theres alot of red days (bank holidays). Last year it was around 3 and a half months! Not sure whats happened thats created such a back log!
Do u know what the currency rate is? Kr?
Chrissy Johansen hy😍
I know this was 9 yrs but thank you for your content.....and your beautiful words in yiur description
It's a great experience you had there. That's immigration. Keep moving
Hello Karin, thank you for this great video.
I'm leaving in Spain with my norwegian BF and we'll be living here for 2 years.
We also have a document from Brazil to prove we have this kind of union that in Brazil is worth like a marriage, called Stable Union.
But after this time he needs to go back to Norway and I'll go with him. Do you think it's gonna be easier to get myself a permission, since we've been together in another country?
I heard Norway doesn't accept this stable union as an official relationship, but at least could be another proof... Do u have some tips to this especific case?
Thank you very very much
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH THANK YOU FOR THESE VIDEOS YOU ARE HELPING A LOT
hisham almohia I am living in Singapore and I would like change place to live Norway
0065-92375040
this was super good for me, even though i did some research and i don't actually have that much to do with UDI when moving to Norway in about 6 months. i'm finnish so i just really need to let the tax office know that i have moved to Norway no later than 8 days after arriving there! so that is nice ^^ i can't wait to move in with my viking.
I'm trying to learn Norwegian and I came across this video thanks for defending immigration in the description
This video was very helpful. I am an American and I am marrying someone from Norway. We are in the U.S. now and are getting married before we move to Norway. Thank you for all the helpful advise.
Alicia Cretin Thank you for your comment! :) Welcome to Norway :D
I went to Norway this summer. I'm musician, want to move to Norway! I love this country!
Kaspar Esman Hello I wanna ask a question, what did you like most? I wanna go there, but I just wondered =)
I live in Greece a country that suffers those years from economical crisis....My thoughts are to go to work abroad if things become more difficult in the future..Norway is my dreamland but it is completely different as far as weather concerns,and i dont know if a Mediterranean guy could handle to live under those temperatures and lack of sun!!But i love this land!I have studied Physics but i cannot find any job here...
Thank you for this video!you love what you do and this is very usefull for us!
HI! I am from Tennessee,(USA),Humboldt.I enjoyed your enthusiasm!
I recently linked this video in my blog about living in Norway. I wrote a post about my experience with immigration and thought it might be helpful, hope thats okay?
Chrissy Johansen That's perfect! Please share your link to the blog under the video! Maybe other people can find it helpful! :)
i am thinking to try comming to Norway from Greece is it hard ?
Blog link?
Jeg har bodd i Norge for ett og halvt år og da var jeg tvunget får å gå tilbake til hjemlandet mitt, men nå vil jeg til Norge igjen. Din videoer har hjulpet meg veldig mye å få grundig norsk språk kunnskap og jeg er veldig takknemlig. Norge er veldig godt sted å få sin drømmen bli realitet, synes jeg. En ting å si at i Norge det er ikke stor forskjell mellom lederens og enkel medarbeiders lønn, og det er godt sted å prøve få god karrier. Tenker denne videoen forteller veldig godt om hvordan begynne nytt liv i Norge. Jeg vil si en stor takk til deg første Læreren min! :) lykke til med uansett hva du skal gjøre i framtid :)
Tusen takk for hyggelige ord
Very interesting, I hope see more of this. Thanks for create and share ❤
Thanks for making this! Keep posting!
UDI might be a mess, but USCIS is just as bad. They tell you one thing on the phone, something completely different in a letter, and then when you go to the office is another story that you’ve never heard before. Now I’m wondering - is immigration like this everywhere in the world? (Especially in North America and Europe?)
Yip, the same everywhere differing slightly in the size and number of hoops you have to jump!
I want to move to Norway in the future to go to college there. Does anyone have any tips for or could anyone tell me more about college life in Norway?
As someone who has been in Norway for around 6.5 years (been through half of the middle school, high school and in uni now) I can tell you my experience. It's a mixed bag. People here are not the most social ones, but if you can find an amazing group of people you are gonna have a blast. As far as living standards, if you are smart about living you can just take a loan from the government (with an interest that seriously might as well not exist) and live in relative luxury while still saving money and not even working. No joke (although you wont eat like a queen). But whatever you do, go to university in Norway only if you speak Norwegian. Norway is a de-facto ethno-state (which is a good thing) and even university campuses which are the most diverse places in the country are dominated by Norwegians (again a good thing!). Norwegian is easy though, it took me about 2-3 years to become fluent in it and after around 6.5 years here I finally got my first people telling me they didn't know I was an immigrant before I told them (keep in mind, slav accents are thicc).
I don't speak russian sorry I am from Bulgaria :P
Oh I am not sure at all about the legal stuff. I came here as a 13 year old with my parents so they were handling all that stuff. Sorry I can't help you, you will have to google for this one :P
Penmuri im her
You there yet?
Oh I thank you that you are teaching Bokmal since I haven't lived in Oslo since I was about five and they were just teaching both to us and I just remember a little.
this was so so helpful thank you both!!
i love norway the only problem that i'm facing is the language and some financial issues
Do you mind sharing what financial issues?
Im not surprised at all that that american girl had a hard time dealing with UDI, I also have a lot of stories about these weird situations that I had to go through in Norway. One thing that really pissed me off in Norway is that if you dont speak norwegian and if you are a foreigner then you worth almost nothing, I always needed to ask a norwegian friend to talk good things about me in order for me to get simple things done like renting a house (just money is not enough) for example. So, Im not surprised that this american girl returned home as I returned home too. In my point of view, someone who has any kind of life options will not be in Norway for a long time, thats why a lot of asylum seekers fix residence in Norway (because they dont have too much options and also social benefits are good) and qualified workers ( i worked offshore in the Statoil oil Rigs), choose to leave the country after 2 or 3 years and I met a lot of qualified people that left Norway while i was there...
Thank you Criene !!
Thanks to you Karin and Rachel for this video. You guys was right about UDI. I gave this a 10 thums up 😊
One more question, how many times Rachel has to renew her visa? For 3 or 5 years? And when she can get Norwegian passport n permanent stay?
I was confused about Rachel's visa renew each year was denied some time. Can that happen? I haven't heard about that scary thing 😔
Once again, tusen takk 😍
Hoa Luu Yes it can and was! IT was worked out after my husband yelled at them in Norwegian. It was such a stupid situation, but we fixed it with not too much stress and that was the only time it happened. They had told me I was missing documents and that it was denied and that they had contacted me about it (which they didn't) and I was never actually missing the documents (lol)
I have a question, if i move to Norway and speak english, will norwegian people understand me?
absolutely :)
Norwegian Teacher - Karin Glad to hear it. Thank you c:
Saihan :D h
Yes, but since we don't use it daily, it takes some time to get our brains into it.
So if people give you a little panicking stare, just smile and give them time.
Saihan :D gf
What if my wife and I are retired and have our own money (don't need jobs, etc) but want to move there for the scenery? Is it possible?
I'm pretty sure in order to move there you have to have a reason to be there, ie school, work, etc. as much as it sucks you cant just move places because you want to. I know this because I have wanted to go to norway for a long time but due to where I was born it makes it even more difficult. there are multiple visas you can apply for like school visas, work visas, family immigration visas, and more. also if you are from an underdeveloped country or something you could probably just apply for asylum. Now this is the process if you arent already a citizen of an EU country. If you are already a citizen living in the EU this process is way easier but I'm not exactly sure how it works since I've only been focusing on my situation. if you need more help you can look at the visas on the UDI website. UDI handles all immigration into Norway
No, if you have not worked here, and not payed taxes to the state, you have not contributed, and can not come here to enjoy the scenery
Thank you, Karin, and to your friend.
thanks for making this wonderful video for everyone:)
There was a book written about ten years ago called "The Spirit Level" by Kate Pickett and Richard Wilkerson . They named Norway among some other countries as having a better spirit or relative happiness level than the USA . They concluded countries like Norway which have a more equitable distribution of wealth, national health care , better social services, etc people in general were happier , not in a shrill, maniac way like here in the USA . People are people but we Americans in general are less happy, and meaner because of the system imposed on us by our masters of survival fittest capitalism and our government is run by the super wealth and corporations . When Norway discovered the North Sea oil they deliberately made it owned by Norway and its people . In this way Norway can better serve its citizens with the profits . Usually countries that have oil , they sell it off to private companies who could care less about the citizens of that country . Here is a link to a talk by the authors of the Spirit Level th-cam.com/video/zYDzA9hKCNQ/w-d-xo.html .
They seem happy until you look at their suicide rates.
Fantastisk
Thanks for making this video. I'd LOVE to move from California to Norway. I still might, someday.
This was very informational, thank you
"Yell at them in Norwegian"!
A good way of dealing with autocratic bureaucrats...
How can I get a work visa to Norway. What are the requirements for this?
That's something that would be too much for her to research considering she knows nothing about you. There are too many factors for her to determine, so you'll have to do it yourself. Good luck though!
Isrrael Garcia you basically need a skill with a formal document like from plumbing, electrical work education and up to PhD.
Durango holy crap. so as a diesel mechanic i could do it... if i were smart enough to be a mechanic in that country. i hear that worldwide, american mechanics are basically a joke.
Interesting video. I've been to Norway last september - it's definetly one of the most beautiful countries I've ever been to. Also, you are super cute :)
RonMD were you there at 22 september? Cuz thats my birthday
Takk Skal Dut For the info! Og Excellent video! 🇳🇴🤍🌲🤓❄️ 👍🏻
lol amerikans alway say that: AAMMMMMMMMMMMM...... in every 5 second.
Not all and this does drive me crazy.
Its a general English speaking thing, you get it a lot here in Ireland to.
Such a big problem I had to go to a class where they teach diction, how to stop bad tiks. and what not. But only the top 5% of the year got to go. Little sad now that I think about it. Hope they figured out how to speak ¬.¬
No, they 'all' dont, Erik.
True ... We don't all use that phrase. I don't.
Erik Adalbert von Silberer its UMMM 😂😂😂😂
Just throw away all ID before arriving in Norway and tell the immigration that you believe in Islam and are afraid of your life and you will get to stay in Norway for ever and get payed without having to work.
Haha bro....so true!
Lol! Thanks for the tip!! 😆😆
SoidSnake
ya , because of u people your own country cant take care of u because your country too many population .
don go there and ' dirty ' and cause chaos to Norway .
SoidSnake really???
Not true. If the gov. ever find out you tricked them - like a recent example- after 20 or so years - you will be stripped of your citizenship, shipped out, right from where you came.
But I see your point :) - hehe mostly true.
i'm german-norwegian and my middle name is karin, with an i. i have been studying norwegian daily for about a year now, 11mos and am progressing pretty well since i speak/understand german and have noticed words/grammar is similar to german/english. i am very interested in moving to norway. i know i am entitled to a german citizenship because my mom is born in germany so i might have to take that route first.
Norwegian teacher -Karin , thank you for sharing this video and it would help me , i'm planning to move in Norway . but I have a question : Actually i'm a chef by profession is it difficult to get job in summer time as chef ?the second question is : if I get a job after my expired can they proceed with my application visa ? I mean the immigration .what If I come with the Schengen visa , can I apply in any catering cooking school?
Oh my god. I want to move to Norway so hard when I'll be older... I wonder if it's easy to move to Norway if we are from Switzerland.. ? xD
+Miss☾Yomii That might be. Is it part of Schengen? :)
Yes it does actually :D
+Norwegian Teacher - Karin , tu parle français ?
Oui je parle français ^^
ah bon trop cool ! ta appris à l'école ?
"If You Want to move to Norway, you should know this.......I'm not single, I'm not available, and no I don't want to kiss you and teach you Norwegian personally."
I thought we were meant to be together. All my hopes and dreams seem so fleeting i can´t go on without you
kobbii i lol
Wow ... it really was painful to listen to what you were put through... having said this not too sure that Australia is any less of a pain to try to deal with... Congratz on things working out for you.
Thank you Karin this is really helpful!!
Just one thing, theatre is also my interest and I'm wondering if you k ow which university Rachel attended. This would be very helpful thank you so much :)
+Hondo Gandalf I believe she said the University of Oslo, but she may have mentioned it for a different reason.
Is it true that if gun down like 12 people you get less than 4 years in prison, In Norway.?
How does it feel to watch the white male empire crumble? Stop thinking with emotions, think with logic instead ;)
no, thats not true.
You would get 21 years in prison as maximum penalty. Shooting 12 people would give that sentence automatically although they might keep you longer. mass shootings have happened only once though.
Not true. Xd. Bill, please dont bring hillary here
21 year sentence, but we will extend the sentence ad infinium, however should you by some miracle get out you will have every ganger/mafia on your ass + the general public.
There is a standing "order" to kill Breivik on sight.
johnjack2121 I would advise you to check Geer Hosftede cultural tool before moving to a foreign country. Is good to know that Norway is not like your country, I do like Norway because is a free country. However, adaptation is the best thing to do in order to embed the culture's of a new country. Obviously you did not do that but instead you tried to change Norwegian culture! I bet that did not work, I am so glad that did not happens.
Ps. if you don’t like you know what to do... go back home or change your mind.
Hi Karin, firstly I would like to thanks you for uploading this video, was very helpful. I am Venezuelan and I used to date a Norwegian guy for three years. Currently we are not longer together however, I went to Norway several times and I felt in love with your country so, I am planning to move there. I have applied for several jobs but unfortunately I only got rejections answers but I kept trying and trying until I got through and interview and eventually I signed a contract. So, I am about to move like two months time. Regarding the job, is a temporary job (tourist guide) which is fine to start but I would like to stay in Norway afterwards so, do you know if is possible to renew or to change a working temporary visa for a permanent one? I got an MSc. in Management and International Business.
Ps. I am studying Norwegian and your youtube channel is very helpful. Btw I am moving to Stavanger. thank you.
Thank you very much!!!

Thanks for the video !
I've had a similar situation with the immigration, they are messy and it's very difficult to gets facts straight ... However, i'm from Brazil and got married to a Norwegian man, my visa got denied 2 times and i have to leave the country, even though i was married... i've been living here for 3 years now, 2 with visa ... and there are 1 more short term visa to go before i can apply for permanent. It'd be good to state here that the immigration rules have changed since the new government got on power, instead for having to renew the visa 3 years to get a permanent one, it's 5 years now. But i'm not quite sure if the person gets a 5 years long visa and then just apply for permanent or it has to reaply every year in 5 years.
For those wishing to move to Norway, Here is what you should know. There are two kinds of people in Norway. Norwegians and everybody else. Norway is an entirely different place to live in than it is to visit. You must always be aware that you will always be regarded as a foreigner. It doesn't matter where you come from, there is a deep sentiment that Norwegians have and that they regard themselves above everybody else living in Norway. They are very infatuated with themselves and will spare no chance to remind you as such. You will always be regarded as a non Norwegian.
Be aware that unless you have a good job, and believe me unless you are one of the few foreigners who is hired by a Norwegian company then you will struggle. Norway is a country for Norwegians, of Norwegians and by Norwegians. It makes no difference who you are and how hard you work, Norway is ONLY a country of opportunity for Norwegians. You will also be required to pay taxes that would bankrupt a small third world country. You may reach a certain position but it will never be that of any high status. You will never be congratulated for success in Norway.
Get used to coldness from people. Get used to being stared at as if you have just farted in a church. Or handed the closest person a dead baby. Get used to the lack of irony, spontaneous sense of humor, jokes. sense of comedy. Say good bye to all of those. Get used to people telling you how much money they think they have, how wonderful Norway is and how shit it is where you come from.... Get used to lack of basic common etiquette. Get used to people complaining about the smallest things you may have done wrong. Get used to finding out later that you have done something wrong.
Get used to the weirdest meaning of honesty....
Get used to dealing with official authorities that will regard you and treat you with ignorance, regardless of where you come from. If you haven't wondered what you were thinking by this stage when you thought Norway was a great place to live then good luck.....
+philster611 No Irony in Norway?
As a Norwegian I think the most common social mistake I make abroad is using irony. It's used so often here that not using it when talking to foreigners is a struggle.
Humor has a high status in Norway and stand up shows and sketch shows are old traditions that normally fill the TV screen every evening. That and dance or music shows.
The authorities always assume that you have read up on all relevant rules and follow them. The second you're outside this frame work the authorities will treat you as a non-person.
Basic common etiquette in Norway is based very much on honesty. You don't fuck around with insincere flowery prose, you don't overly exaggerate how awesome people, concepts or products are. We also don't over do emotional outbursts. We do not lick ass. Ever. And we strive to treat everyone equally. If the King enters a room he will be saluted royally. There will be salutations, flowers, etc. etc. Then, five minutes later he will be mingling and probably talk to random people about sailing, hunting or soccer or whatever. This is good Norwegian manners: sincerity without overt shows of emotion.
Also, we don't talk to strangers. Well, we do. But usually not.
Karl-Erlend Mikalsen Then you are no doubt the only person in Norway who does understand irony, Because is there is one noticeable trait about Norwegians, it is a massive lack of irony...
I would say comedy has a high status. Humor is a different thing. Most Norwegians don't have much of a sense of it. Try to crack a spontaneous joke or attempt to be funny and you get the look of utter total indifference.We foreigners call it the constipated stare....
Norwegians in general are so rule driven its no wonder they suffer from lack of humor and are generally miserable. Norway is one of the most heavily regulated countries in Europe . There are more rules in Norway than anywhere else, it is little wonder that foreigners struggle for years to understand how it is to live in such a stifling rule driven society.
There is no basic etiquette in Norway. Honesty has a very weird definition in Norway as people in Norway ,most certainly are not honest if the all ecompassing meaning is used.A better description would be more that people are momentarily opinionated. However honesty is far much an ideal for Norwegians to uphold as eventually their "honesty" turns out to be bullshit. Honesty has multiple definitions in English. And Norwegians fail at most of them.
Indeed Norwegians don't mess around with flowery prose. The upper levels of class don't exist in Norway. No you don't do emotional out bursts, you barely have an emotional register in the first place. You do a lot of drama queenery though
.
You can barely kick ass let alone lick ass. You fail at treating everyone equally. As I said there are two kinds of people in Norway. Norwegians and non Norwegians. The former gets treated with far more equality than the second.
Indeed, whenever foreigners are speaking to Norwegians you wonder if they have any emotions at all.They are about as warm and welcoming as an ice cube. This is however is a lack of manners and is regarded as indifference, disrespectful and just ignorant.
No you don't talk to stranger because you are just basically all ignorant, dull, boring and full of shit..
Interesting take. I've lived in Norway and it was different from visiting for sure as you mention. For some reason Norwegians were not friendly in my daily life nor would they talk to smile and say hello. Visiting they were the opposite. Norwegian superiority so to speak also does exist where you're always a foreigner.
Jennifer L. Believe me Jennifer, I am not wrong in my statements. As much as Norwegians can deny it, they cannot overlook the fact that Norway is like how I describe.
+philster611 wow
Fantastic! Completely turned me off Norway :)
yeah, same here... :-\
While socialists rule, this is indeed a fucked up land, but that will change soon.
M humbled. Respect for the humane approach that u r about. Love from India
Great story! Thank you.
So if from the third world with no skills you are welcomed with open arms. Come from a first world country with skills then no chance in hell. Typical of Europe.
bullshit if you had skills you`d get in no problem,but you have no skills so you have a go at someone else
Actually, this is not true. I am from Ukraine and if I will try to move somewhere in EU, i will remain undocumented immigrant until I die or move backwards, in like 99% of cases. Off course I could become very valuable on market as a skilled worker and specialist, but this is extremely expensive and works not every time. Norway welcomes either refugees either elites and workers they need right now.
True
yeah with open arms, all of the refugees and people from 3rd world countries, many of them couldn't manage to integrate to european society. their social lifes literally suck.
interesting, it sounds like they want people more easy to control, but they forget that many places such as brazil and argentina have a lot of smart people who wouldn't knee easily to any bullshit
any girls want to marry and come to australia?
Yes😱
yes :)

Please am a girl can I find job in Australia 🇦🇺?
I will and i will treat you like king
thank you for this detail video
Awesome. Thanks heaps for this. ☺️
lord, it must be mad cold there
Norway isn't that cold compared to other northern climes because it is a costal country. Norway is warmer than most of Canada for instance.
ironwork92000 well sometimes its cold(in winter) but in summer then its sometimes hot
Sorry to be a language troll, but a person immigrates FROM a country and they EMIGRATE TO a country.

Thanks it´s a good information :D
Norway, the best kept secret in the world!
I really want to move to Norway but I'm not sure if it's easy bc I'm from Germany 😂
Germany also good country
Well I wish to be in Germany
Uh, if you’re a German citizen it’s way easier than if you were let’s say a U.S. citizen.
I know a couple of germans living here, I don't think you would have much of a problem getting here!
I would like to do my Master's degree in Norway, but unfortunately, the embassy of Norway here in Caracas is no longer open for me to get a student's VISA. :(
thanks alot that was very helpful and useful to me.
Norway does not belong to norwegians. Norwegians belong to Norway. And its anybody's land as it was created by god
You deserve an amen
Norway belongs to the ethnic Norwegians yes. Not some one else. The world is built by borders and nationalism. So just face it
@@henkarars you can face it. I will go to live in Norway. And guess what it will belong to me too
@@billasingh8175 good luck. They are horrible racist people.
Bull crap. Norway was founded and built upon by Norwegians. People saw how great it was and people started moving there bringing all their problems with them
sorry norway is very cold but i love norway because it have much blonde woman
my country algeria have a good weather so i want life with norwegian women in algeria
In Algeria, Europeans are beheaded, so Norwegian women won't go there
Cá heo sông Amazon This is a horrible thing to say! What some people are going is not something you can say is happening to everyone!
Norwegian Teacher - Karin I'm understand you, but algeria is very vast, and it have 38 million inhabitant?! thank you.

elbones1982 The cold will not help you! I like cold weather and the Norway :)
I lived in Tromsø 1 year, and i loved it so much. It took me 6 months to speak norwegian fluently, also had problems in UDI with my student visa, a really long process (like 3 months, (including my person number). Everything else was wonderful :) the people is very polite and funny. But is curious that i use the Olso dialect
45JCQ 6 months to learn the language? Wow! Congratulations! Did you get any proper courses? :)
Norwegian Teacher - Karin I lived with a family and went to high school, just tried to not speak english with my mates and then the norwegian came like magic haha
The thing at 12:45 explains a lot,... this is how my best friend got her residency without any trouble, even though it was done this way totally out of coincidence.
Don't move to Norway, Norway for Norwegians only.

Hello Karin, I got a doubt, it is something stupid, but, anyway. How is the correct pronunciation of the norwegian artist "Sondre Lerche"?
I really appreciate this video
Thank you so much for letting us know these things. I also wanna move to Norway and I wanna be all prepared so there won't be any difficulties.(sure there will be) And one thing I really wanna know is that is Norway not accepting any tourists from muslim countries like Turkey? Or if I move there some day do you think I'll face judgements by any person because I'm turkish?
you'll be fine😜
