Moving children to Norway
I've been working here for 15 months and want to move my children here from the UK. Do I need to register this move as the children are under 18? Or do the children need to be 18 to get an ID number? I guess I need to register this move for the ... Read More

As long as your not in Norway for more than the 183 days in 12 months then there's no problem using the car here. I would check with the insurance company about leaving it here and make sure you have enough MOT on it for however long it's ... Read More

Build a house by yorkie100
Does anybody have an idea of the cost of building a new house in Norway? There are plenty of companies that advertise but none seem to give a price. Has anybody done this? I wondered if it's cheaper than buying an existing house?
Thanks, that is exactly what I wanted, they give a quote for a six bedroom house in Nordland for 2.2M NOK so plus the land takes it to around 2.6M NOK which I think I would struggle to buy an existing house in good condition for this price. Tusen ... Read More
