Ending ENK activity requires organising registrations, taxes, documents and obligations. Check how to report the closure of the business, what to do with VAT and what to remember after deregistration.
Constant teasing, being excluded, undermining someone’s competence — when is it bullying, and when is it a conflict or justified criticism? We explain Norwegian definitions, warning signs and ways to react. This is an introduction to a conversation with Anna Willder, an expert psychologist at Twoja Norwegia.
Do you drive to clients in your own car? Check when you should account by kilometres, when to account for the vehicle's actual costs, and why commuting to a fixed workplace is not automatically considered a business trip.

"We'll sign the contract later", "we'll calculate the hours", "overtime is included in the pay". At the start of a new job it's easy to take everything on trust. Check what you can expect from the first day and which documents are worth keeping before the first problem occurs.
You received a termination notice and suddenly everything looks different: salary, rent, NAV, documents. Don’t try to sort out your whole life in one day. First secure your documents, check the notice period, register as a job seeker and determine whether you may be entitled to dagpenger.
You've been offered a job and now face an employment contract. Before you sign, check not only the salary. Type of employment, the number of hours, the probation period, allowances and the notice period may matter more than a single well-worded sentence in the job offer.
Do you have ten years of experience, send your CV and get silence? The problem is not always a lack of qualifications. Sometimes the employer simply does not see them quickly enough.

Moving with a child is not just about your number, work and housing. You also need to sort out the child's residence, registration, school or kindergarten, health, vaccinations and check benefits. Not everything is handled at a single office — so we put it in order.
A child has a high fever, you have chest pain, or on a Saturday things suddenly get much worse. When stressed you do not want to learn the entire Norwegian health system. You need one answer: fastlege, 116 117 or 113?
You wake up with a fever, pain, or an infection and suddenly face a simple question: who should you actually call? In Norway you usually start with a fastlege, but not every new resident has one right away. We show how to get into the system without going from door to door.
