I should seriously investigate this. I'd love colder climates, I have EU citizenship (though, d'oh, just remembered, Norway isn't EU...), and my GF would love to live in Europe and has Norwegian heritage (though she's a fourth generation American, so ...)


Norway isn't in the EU, but it is in the EEA. Its easy to get the residence permit for EU citizens.

I'm from the UK and settled here 8 years ago. All it took was a trip to the tax register in Oslo, fill in a few forms and that's it.

Jobs are relatively easy to find. The main job board in Norway is at: http://finn.no/jobb

Only thing really to complain about is the expense of damn near everything. But even that, you can get used to.
