Moving to the Norway: What You Need to Know

Norway is not part of the EU, but it belongs to the Schengen Area, meaning EU/EEA citizens have easier entry. For non-EU/EEA citizens, applying for the correct residence permit is vital. Public services are efficient, English is widely spoken, and the standard of living is exceptionally high. However, adapting to cultural norms like punctuality, minimal small talk, and strong social systems will enhance your integration. Let Compass Relocation help you navigate these aspects smoothly.
