Friends cannot arrange visas for you. Only employers can do that. Unless you have qualifications that are needed for visas then you will not have any luck getting into Norway.

Hi,
My name is MK I am an American looking to move to Norway to be with my boyfriend :) Been hitting a lot of walls since we do not wish to marry just yet so getting residency has been tricky.
Nice to meet everyone ^^

Hi! I'm Francis, currently residing in Nigeria. Hoping to move soon, God willing to Norway, Stavanger to be precise for studies. Anyone in the house who could give me an insight on what to expect and other experiences? Thanks!

I don't regard myself as an expat since I have lived in norway since I was a child.  I just signed up because I like reading stories and meeting people from my country of origin.  I am still a student, born Zambia but namibian by blood.

Hi my name is Brell Bikouya, I'm from the republic of Congo. After spending 5 years in Cape Town (Republic of South Africa), I'm back in Congo. I'm actually working as an offshore Assistant material administrator in Congolese sea, where I use to meet some guys from Norway and we discuss about our different cultures. I'm really interested by adventures about Norway and I'm planning to visit the country.

Hey MK!

I've been hitting those walls all month. I'm in the same situation as you, dating a Norwegian but don't want to HAVE to get married to stay here. I did meet a gal from New York last week who got an Aupair visa, so that's an option. Anyone with any additional tips, lemme know!

Hey, I'm Franco-Kenyan, currently living in France (Montpellier) and moving to Norway in August, When you move to Oslo it would be great to meet with fellow foreigners in Norway !

Hello.. im jennifer. I am a nurse by profession but I am practicing as a teacher.
I am a registered nurse and a licensed teacher. I am currently a public secondary school teacher.
I am actually contemplating of moving to norway particularly in Oslo.
I am a little bit reluctant though because I do not have any friends or relatives in Norway but I am willing to take the risks.
I plan on visiting Norway while looking for a probability of finding a job as a teacher particularly as a special education teacher as I have a master's degree in special education.
Hoping that anyone out there can shed a light as to whether I will be doing the right thing of moving my career to a higher level.
Thanks

Hello my name is Kamal,
I am planning to move to norway to live with my wife there. She is a native Norwegian citizen. She cant invite me to Norway as she dont have the income criteria specified by UDI. I have been to norway once couple of years ago for 3 months and since then I have been doing jobs as a Snr. PHP Web Developer in my homeland. I have been looking for a job in my related field in websites but it seems like its hard to get a job not knowing norwegian language. I was thinking of applying for job seekers visa to get there and in some threads of this blog I found its rather disappointing. I dont have a clue what to do. I would be very glad if anyone can show me the way.

Regards,
Kamal
