10 Reasons Not to Move to Norway

What are some reasons why you shouldn't move to Norway? Hey Everyone! Welcome to my channel -- today I'm talking about 10 Reasons NOT to move to Norway. Known for breath-taking fjords, polar nights, and majestic mountains, many people consider Norway the perfect place to live - but it's not for everyone! In this video, I'll be taking a look at the downsides of moving there – from costs of living and long winters, all the way through to language barriers and culture shock. So stay tuned if you want to find out what’s waiting for you in Norway, if it’s really worth making the leap.
10. No Amazon
If you're an online shopping enthusiast, then it might not be the ideal place to move. That's right folks - no Amazon!
Yes, I know what you're thinking: how can one of the most advanced countries in the world not have access to the convenience of Amazon? Well, unfortunately for Norwegian shoppers (and anyone else considering moving there) that is just a reality now as Amazon does not operate within Norway’s borders.
So why isn't Amazon available in Norway? The answer lies mainly with taxes – Norwegian customs regulations require that customers pay a 25 percent tax on all items purchased from non-Norwegian companies such as Amazon. On top of this, any item sent to Norway must also include 17.5% value-added tax (VAT). If you are habituated to ordering from the largest e-commerce store, then this might be one of the reasons not to move to Norway.
9. You can’t party much
If you're looking for a place to move that offers plenty of partying and nightlife, then Norway might not be your best bet. You see, the country has some pretty strict laws when it comes to alcohol consumption and public gatherings.
Plus, if you want to buy anything stronger than beer or wine, good luck – Norway isn't exactly known for its abundance of booze shops! So, if you plan on having wild nights filled with laughter and fun – this Nordic nation probably won't be your ideal destination.
If you are a party freak, then this is certainly one of the negative sides of living in Norway.
8. Adjusting to cultural differences can be difficult
If you’ve ever lived in Norway, you know that it can be hard to adjust. From the lack of sun during the winter months to an appreciation for hygge and fika - two things that are essential parts of Norwegian life - it can feel like moving from one world into another.
What makes adjusting especially difficult is that Norwegian culture values individualism over all else. People tend to keep themselves more private than other cultures around the world, so don't expect many invitations or warm welcomes when arriving in town.
And even though Norwegians won't necessarily come out and say they're uncomfortable with your presence, they will definitely show displeasure if what you do affects others negatively. If you are a social butterfly, then this could be one of the most important reasons not to move to Norway.
7. Property is expensive
According to a recent report from Global Property Guide, it was found that the average cost for purchasing a house or apartment in Oslo (the capital) was around US$2,997 per square meter in 2020. That’s almost double what many other countries charge for similar properties!
And if you think that number is bad enough wait until you hear about how much rentals are going for in Norway, they can be as high as US$1000 per month just for a small studio flat!
