moving to oslo
 

Has anyone any idea of how to find an apartment in Oslo? or any tips on moving to Norway. I am moving there for 2 years.

Hi, <BR> <BR>If you understand norwegian or have someone to translate for you, you should try to get the norwegian newspaper Aftenposten. You will find a lot of "appartments for rent" ads for the Oslo area. <BR>You should also try "Gule Sider"(Yellow pages ) on the web: www.gulesider.no (These are in english and norwegian) <BR>If you try "Gule sider" you should write rented accomodation in the business category field, nothing in the company name field and Eastern Norway in the Part of Country/County field. You will get a list of agencies with their phone numbers, and some of them have web pages and e-mail. <BR>Hope this will help. <BR>Kaja <BR>

There are several active organizations in Norway for Americans living in our country. I know, for example, that the American Women's Club in Oslo recently published several web-pages with valuable information for newcomers. <BR>Regarding apartments, be prepared for a lot of looking around, and also note that the marked is cramped and the prices are therefore quite high. <BR>If you would like more detailed information, please feel free to e-mail me direct! And welcome - I hope you'll enjoy my country! <BR>

Hi again, <BR>I just heard about this small company here in Norway who helps foreigners who are new in Oslo with all kinds of stuff. <BR>Their web page is; www.oslorelocation.no <BR>Kaja

Thanks for the information. I contacted them and I may use them even though they are very expensive because it is so difficult to navigate in a different language. Thanks. Aileen
