In reply to Jonathan Jones. If you register yourself as living in Norway before December 31 the old rules apply. After January 1 you must apply for a work permit as a non-EU citizen.

Hi, As a UK citizen I’m looking to move next year but i’m worried because of Brexit, if I go to Norway and rent somewhere (and quarantine for ten days) could I get residence before the deadline or will this not leave enough time? Many Thanks Jonathan

Hi, I am planning on moving to Norway, does this mean I have until December 2020 to move there? Or do I still only have unil March 2019?

We are planning to go to Norway on 1st April for our daughter’s wedding in Oslo. Do you think that we will be able to travel there after Brexit without hinderence?

Thanks for the article, David. Was there any mention of the dual-citizenship plans that were being mooted a year or so ago?

Hi, I have two children under 18 living in Norway (moved from uk to Norway with Norwegian mother after divorce). I miss them terribly and want to join them. I wondered if brexit will stop me doing that or should I go through the route of family immigration??

Does anyone have any information as to how my state pension contributions in the UK for the last twenty years are transfered to Norway? Do I have to do anything?

I am living and working here now (still fighting to get an ID number though) and have no intention of going back to the UK so its important for me to make sure there are no issues with receiving the state pension.

Does this (leaving Eu/EEA) also cover uk citizens that are living in uk and receiving a state pension from Norway.

I worked in Norway for 12 years and paid NI to Norway. I retired 2years ago and currently receive a monthly state pension from Norway (NAV). Will leaving the EU effect this pension?

In reply to Hannah. It absolutely matters. No-one knows what the rules will be after Britain leaves the EU, but it is almost certain that it will not be as easy for Brits to move to a EU/EEA country as it is today.
