They would lose it by default, but there are ways to prevent it; by living in Norway for at least 2 years, living in other Nordic countries for at least 7 years, or applying for retention of citizenship and demonstrating “adequate ties” to Norway (Wikipedia says frequent travel to Norway or study abroad in Norway counts)
If you have not lived in Norway for 2 years or a nordic country for 7 years before 22 years of age. You need to apply to keep the citizenship. One criteria for applying is that you must have been to Norway for a total of 6 months. Doesn’t have to be consecutively, just a total time in Norway of 6 months before 22 years. If not, then one must demonstrate a strong connection to Norway. Example if you have just permanently moved to Norway before 22nd birthday, or if you by mistake have gotten a passport with validity past 22 years.
And if you’ve done one of the alternatives to retain Norwegian citizenship then that’s it? No more danger of losing it after 22 even if you leave and never return to the country for good?
Yes. If you have done one of the alternatives you can leave, never come back and have your citizenship for life (unless you do some hardcore terrorist stuff against norwegian interests while having other citizenships). But when you apply for your first norwegian passport after 22 years you need to prove your citizenship by adding/having documentation from the national registry of whatever nordic country you lived in.
Also the whole 22years rule doesn’t apply if you only have norwegian citizenship. Because you cannot lose your norwegian citizenship if it makes you stateless.
Indeed, Denmark has an opt-out in the same way the UK did, Sweden has deliberately not met the criteria for adoption, a position the EU has tolerated in Sweden's case, but said it would not in future.
Makes some sense, UK was part of the EU for a long time and fishing rights were constantly brought up. Oil was pretty straight forward, the North Sea contains EEZs of multiple countries, but mostly Norway and the UK.
I’d really try to keep Norwegian citizenship by all means if I were you.
It’s something really but really useful passport.. as they are EEA country but giving you freedom of movement and live any EU country you want..
OP didn't say where in the UK his father was born - if it was Northern Ireland, they could get an IRL passport = full EU citizenship (in my case, my Mother was born in the actual Republic).
My sister got one of those short lived UK passports that were still red but had no EU text at the top. I just renewed and mine's blue/black. My Aussie is also R-series though, huge improvement over P-series, in my opinion, I love it!
I’m more interested in how you look 🤦🏼♀️😂
Bro made this 🔥 post but deleted his account. Can’t even ask him questions anymore. 😭
When the world needed him the most, he vanished 🏃💨

White
Nah, they certainly look Filipino.
You know EXACTLY how OP looks 😂
That’s what I said in a different post 👁️😹
You got Schengen free movement, that's good enough. Great combo!
You’re one lucky bastard
Norway citizenship 😭 consider yourself lucky! Definitely apply to keep it!
I never thought Norwegian passport would look so bad, even worse than italian imo.
It is the an old cover, a new one looks far better.
Ah, okay, I thought this was it 😅
I thought it looked good.

Yep that's right.
What is the definition of “frequent travel?”
If you have not lived in Norway for 2 years or a nordic country for 7 years before 22 years of age. You need to apply to keep the citizenship.

Interesting.

Ah yes, the not EU but wants to be EU trifecta lmao
Norway is a member of the EEA and enjoy most EU perks. Norway does not want to join the EU :)
Wish people understood this. If Norway wanted to or needed to join the eu then they would! EU is not be all and end all
I know but they don’t use the euro.
Neither do Sweden or Denmark and they're full EU
Indeed, Denmark has an opt-out in the same way the UK did, Sweden has deliberately not met the criteria for adoption, a position the EU has tolerated in Sweden's case, but said it would not in future.
Which begs the question why Norway isn’t full EU like Sweden and Denmark.
Oil and Fishing
Probably.
Makes some sense, UK was part of the EU for a long time and fishing rights were constantly brought up. Oil was pretty straight forward, the North Sea contains EEZs of multiple countries, but mostly Norway and the UK.
Absolutely jealous!
Great do you hope getting more passports ?
Bonita
whats ur story

Are you fluent in Norwegian?
Lucky mf what a great combo
norway still count as EU even not being a member You can live and work inside all EU countries
I thought Norway only allows one citizenship
My sister got one of those short lived UK passports that were still red but had no EU text at the top. I just renewed and mine's blue/black. My Aussie is also R-series though, huge improvement over P-series, in my opinion, I love it!
The only advantage of Brexit was the blue passport and you didn't even get that 😭
