What do I need to know before retiring in Oslo?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Oslo, they said...
"Before retiring in Oslo, expats should be aware of the cost of living, which is higher than in many other countries. They should also be aware of the language barrier, as Norwegian is the official language of the country. Additionally, expats should research the healthcare system in Norway, as it is different from many other countries. It is also important to research the tax system in Norway, as taxes can be high. Finally, expats should research the visa requirements for Norway, as they may need to apply for a residence permit in order to stay in the country," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Oslo, Norway.
"Absolutely take this opportunity... what a beautiful country and great experience. You make what you want out of it... Take advantage of a country that offers incredible outdoor activities/sports. I was never into skiing, hiking, cycling, but I am a convert...at 45 years old and ejoying what the outdoors has to offer here and have yet to see anywhere else like it in the world," commented one expat who made the move to Oslo, Norway.
