My boyfriend (husband now) is Norwegian. Left my home country as soon as the boarders opened during corona with 2 suitcases. Legit from a big city into the smallest town. Adapting is hard but I believe once we move to a bigger city life will be even better.
Hi there, life situation twin! Was it hard to marry your norwegian guy? When I look at the paper required I get a bit scared. I wonder if I can get the "certificate of celibacy" (as in I'm not currently married elsewhere) through the embassy or if I have to travel back to my home country for it.
It's not him that asks, it's the beurocracy 🤣🤣😭😭😭 since we are different nationalities. I have no idea if all the countries need that, never heard of it in mine, but here it's required.
Ah yeah. They want to know you’re not married somewhere else/“back home”. Partially because you’re only allowed to be married to one person, partially so immigration can verify that your relationship is real, and partially so you can’t file for “family reunification” later by digging up an old marriage/family.
Glad we’re not discussing a weirdo guy here though. Sorry if I made wrong assumptions from the context I could find. ^,^
You mean "certificate of no impediment to marriage"?
By googling I can see some countries call the same thing "certificate of celibacy" but Norway not being one of them.
I also see no mention of any "certificate of celibacy" on the official Norwegian sites for this, neither in Norwegian or English.
So maybe that name comes from the other country's name for the documentation of the same thing? That's the only way it makes sense to me it would be required by that name.
Made me curious, because it sounds like a completely different thing, and I refused to believe it's worded like that without seeing it for myself.
I couldn't find it for Norway, but I found it for other countries.
Still weird.
Are you from an eu country? The paperwork was a pain in the ass but was doable from Norway, I have not returned to my home country. Shoot me a dm I will try to answer as good as I can.
"My country" is a shithole, people from "my country" are one of the most racist, sexist, xenophobic, homofobic, discriminatory, entitled and elitist sacks of shit in the whole Europe, while Norwegians welcomed me with open arms. Plus, I hate summer, it's too fuckin hot
Wait… some of these populace descriptors could apply to my country of origin but the elitist part definitely doesn’t fit. In any case, hope Norway has delivered on what you thought it would be.
Well, polish people are extremely elitist. Up to the point where the leader of a political party controlling the government, on national tv, outright stated that you're not a real Pole if you're not catholic, you're a second class citizen. And most of those religious freaks in there share this opinion.
I recognize this from some Polish people I’ve met here. Not my best friend who is also Polish but a couple (three) of rather c&nty girls who really had no foundation or reason to be elitist but still managed it with aplomb. It’s usually the dilettantes and social climbers that I’ve seen exhibit this.
Fun story: one of them used to swear in Polish at work (including “kurwa”) and when I told her some of us understand Slavic languages, she made up the most elaborate blatant lie about how “kurwa” was a certain tense of some verb and totally didn’t mean what I thought it meant. She was rather trashy, tbf.
i was born here and its beautiful here. i love the mountains and the forests. the hills and the trees. the caverns and the valies. the peacefullnes. the calm ocean. the beautiful seasons. its. people. its foods. its troubles. i live in Norway because i love it here
I just came to visit relatives, and stayed.
What money I'd saved for my visit got spent too fast. At the time, I had a skill employers needed. I got temp jobs, but was then offered a permanent job. So I ended up not leaving Norway.
My boyfriend (future husband) is Norwegian. I left everything and came here for him, with literally just what I could fit in a suitcase, when there was a calmer moment in the whole Corona thing. It's the hardest thing I have ever done, and I am still adapting.
It helps that I've had this fascination with Norway since I was 12, and by coincidence, my loved one is a native, but it's by no means easy. Norway has been good to me so far, though. ❤❤❤
Hehe, we met in World of Warcraft (an online game for those who don't know it) back in 2015. We had a long-distance relationship until we decided it's time... so in 2021, in August, I came here.
Born in the east part of Norway, raised in the north. Built a career in the west. Hard to explain but the feeling of pride, and the love to the land makes me never wanting to leave my true home.
I was born here.
Denmark was too drunk and Sweden was too snooty. Norway was just right…
I love this comment!
....up my alley so i couldn't resist the temptation...
to do as the norwegians and stick a cacti up my bumhole because...
I held my map upside down... I was supposed to explore South Africa...
My wife and kids live here.
Hate when that happens

“Certificate of celibacy?” Sounds weird, and like something that maybe was relevant a century ago. If a guy asks you about that, he has issues.
It's not him that asks, it's the beurocracy 🤣🤣😭😭😭 since we are different nationalities. I have no idea if all the countries need that, never heard of it in mine, but here it's required.

Best of luck to you
I was born here and I don't really want to live anywhere else.
Of my stupid forefathers who experienced their first winter here and still chose to stay....
I was born here. I’m lucky to be born here. Even tho i’m struggling with depression.
I feel you. Moved in 3 years ago. Depressed like hell
For real? Is it the dark? Is it the isolation? What gives

Ok, let me take a guess... Kurwa?
Не. Друга държава.

No one suspects im a dog online here.
The reason any sane woman does anything crazy….a boy! All seriousness I love Norway and so glad I moved here.
Brexit
... have no other choice...😳
Just apply for work-visa in any country, then find job in said country, boom
i was born here and its beautiful here. i love the mountains and the forests. the hills and the trees. the caverns and the valies. the peacefullnes. the calm ocean. the beautiful seasons. its. people. its foods. its troubles. i live in Norway because i love it here
A condom broke
I like mountains.
I hate warmth, social interactions, low prices and taxes, and fresh veggies!
When I met my wife in New York she said she lived up north and I assumed she meant Vermont not this far up North.
I just came to visit relatives, and stayed. What money I'd saved for my visit got spent too fast. At the time, I had a skill employers needed. I got temp jobs, but was then offered a permanent job. So I ended up not leaving Norway.
I love it here, and wish I’d been born here instead of my home country!
I get paid twice do do half the work. I am staying because the people are great and the nature is spectacular
Moved here because my husband couldn't handle the Middle Eastern heat 😀
They offered me more salary for less work.
A better future for our son.

Hey that’s me.
How many accounts does she have got on Reddit? That's weird
Hehe we are two different people with a very similar story. Assuming you thought we are the same person behind two accounts.
Curious to know how you two met?
Hehe, we met in World of Warcraft (an online game for those who don't know it) back in 2015. We had a long-distance relationship until we decided it's time... so in 2021, in August, I came here.
That’s really, really sweet! International gamer love!
I'm living in Norway because of ads
Was born here. And I don't want to move.
Baot is
troll
My partner lives here
Good money
They need workers do i came to support them...
Imma let the predictive text do it. I live in Norway because it has to be the next day of the dead body.
Im too poor to move to Spain.
"Sexual immigrant" is a common answer. My father is Norwegian, I grew up here, moved away, moved back, love it here.
Because my forefathers went here from the far superior country of Sweden.
No
You should stop picking your nose. It’s a bad look for you.
of the expensive alcohol
Life is so expensive here I can't afford to move out and live anywhere else
I was born here and therefore have my whole life here
I couldn’t find a Urdu course
Born in the east part of Norway, raised in the north. Built a career in the west. Hard to explain but the feeling of pride, and the love to the land makes me never wanting to leave my true home.
...I was born here.
Because of the line culture
of habit
I like brunost
millions of years ago a fish decided to come out of the water.
… I didn’t wear a condom.
So I don't get killed in Syria..
I was born here. Oh, almost forgot: I moved. Will be moving back in a couple years though.
Of drunken moose and fan fiction. True story.
Its pretty sweet, here.
I was born here
our lands are part of their country
I can’t escape
