Norway: years of residence for exporting Norwegian pension:

Hello, has anyone from expatriates considered to move from Norway when pension age come? I know that it is not possible for everybody but only for those who reside for a long time. How many years of residence in Norway are needed according to Norwegian law? Are there other conditions? best wishes, Feia.

Norway: moving to Norway:

I agree completely with your opinions on Norwegian health system, Mrhonest. Why Norwegians think that they have a good health system? It is because they don't know what is health system with a real performance. And they are not interested in what other cultures have created in this field. In 14 years of my life in Norway I have never seen one article about how other European health systems are functioning. Sometimes one can read about drawbacks and social injustice of the US system, only to underline how perfect is Norwegian system. In reality, one does not have a choice to go to another specialist, if a family doctor evaluate one's condition incorrectly. I have heard many times from mine doctor that I should go home and just be patient. Once I almost died following his advice, then coming to emergency with a high temperature because of the tooth abcess. I got an infection spread everywhere, and was saved only by the participation of my friend doctor (she was also not Norwegian). She had actually to use high tones with the Norwegian doctor who was on duty at the hospital. I and my family lived in 4 European countries, but we have not met such an attitude of doctors and health system anywhere. However, many newcomers understand the real state of things only when emergency comes. And then sometimes it is too late. So, just be aware! best wishes, Feia.
