    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.

      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?

    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.

      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.

    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!)

      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.

    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!

    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?

    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...

    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?

      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).

    • @torje4965
      @torje4965 3 роки тому

      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

    @philsterthephilster 9 років тому +22

    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.....

    • @karl-erlendmikalsen5159
      @karl-erlendmikalsen5159 9 років тому +8

      +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.

    • @philsterthephilster
      @philsterthephilster 9 років тому +7

      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..

    • @PacificNWGrl
      @PacificNWGrl 9 років тому +4

      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.

    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 ua-cam.com/video/zYDzA9hKCNQ/v-deo.html .

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.

    2) Norway has more social benefits
    3) Norway has an excellent public transportation system.
    4) Florida is warm. (I am in FL)
    5) Everything is expensive in Norway and higher Sales tax (VAT).
    6) USA is large, Norway is Tiny.
    7) America has more to offer in everything.
    8) Norway is the most richest country in the world in general. ( from UN and other facts)

    if you want to move to bulgaria you should know this. Basic neto salary in bulgaria is 200 - 250 euros. 100 goes on petrol, 150 on eletricity, tv, water, gas, trash and 150 on food. So basically two salaries are needed for basic survival and taxes (usually mothers and fathers salary), and your salary is for your education or savings to leave country. This is the far best scenario cuz if u live with parents in house, you dont need to pay monthly rent, and u can share clothes with brother/cousin. Phones and internet are what makes people spend those savings for leaving country, and they have to repeat process their parents did their whole life. Conclusion = what a beautiful life in European Union we have, God bless European Union, cuz we will be sweden as they have told us, so lets say once more, God bless European Union ! P.S. - other surrounding countries are far worse or "slightly" better. Slightly meaning it depends on how much gypsies live nearby.

  • @jenniferhirschboeck
    @jenniferhirschboeck 9 років тому

    This is super helpful! My boyfriend and I have been friends since 2007. It wasn't until last year that we decided we were definitely moving toward a more serious direction. We started sending letters back and forth. To be honest I think I almost forgot that I will one day need proof and these little letters and pictures could be my savior in the end. I am stuck here in the states while I finish school. I have a year or two left. With the laws becoming more and more difficult on immigration I'm frankly scared to death to wait much longer. The worst part is I have a father who is on disability here in the states due to mental issues and needs constant monitoring. Dual citizenship is my only option at this point. The rest of the family has long since passed on (or) are to busy to help him if he gets into a bind. I am confident once I graduate I will be licensed in Europe and the united states for medical esthetics. I am also fluent in 3 languages with English as my first. I can read and understand most Norwegian but cannot speak it. However I would prefer to move in with him in Norway. We are are wanting to get engaged and debating children in the near future however being here sure does not make that convenient. Were there any income requirements he had to fulfill to do the family immigration?

    • @NorwegianTeacher

      Jennifer Hirschboeck Hello! :) I will pass this question on to Rachael that is in the video and maybe she can help you out. I do not think there is any form of income requirement at all for family immigration :) But I will ask her to answer you! :)

    • @rachaelivy
      @rachaelivy 9 років тому

      Jennifer Hirschboeck Hi Jennifer! You sound like you're in a rough situation and I can totally relate! There were a lot of similar circumstances tying me to the States before I left and it's very difficult.
      Dual citizenship is currently VERY difficult in Norway, in fact they are one of the only countries that does not allow dual citizenship for its citizens and requires you to relinquish your citizenship if you want to be a Norwegian citizen. (I know that wasn't your original question but wanted to let you know - while it sounds like it will be very possible for you to get an immigrant visa you are less likely to get dual, full citizenship)
      There WAS an income requirement when we applied and it actually went up while I was staying there. They do not take into account your income at all (at least when I lived there), only the Norwegian citizen "sponsoring" and "responsible for you". And when I was there it was quite high and a bit unreasonable. You may be able to find the exact amount required on UDI's website or by calling them.
      My advice would be to find these things out and start this process as soon as possible (like you said, collecting letters and evidence, etc.) It can't hurt. Not that you have to apply now or figure out everything but just getting your ducks in a row and asking the right questions (or having your boyfriend ask them) will help you in the long run. I wish you the best of luck! If you have any other questions let me know, hopefully I can be of some help.

    • @jenniferhirschboeck
      @jenniferhirschboeck 9 років тому

      I just checked it out and HOLY CRAP thats a bit absurd for the income requirement. Seeing as mine would be the higher one. He is trying to wean himself off the Norwegian version of disability but its proving very difficult. I do not mind giving up my citizenship but I do worry since his career when he graduates will need him to move to the united states. Thank you for all the advice. I have seriously been on ever website trying to figure out where to start and they all say something different or the information is outdated. I had been to UDI's website before but it kept coming up at the rules for immigrating from
      Thailand lmao.
