MinID and helsetrygdkort aka European health card

Sooooo. Hello again:)
This time its about the MinID. Basically i wanted to register as a jobseeker on NAVs website and they needed this MinID or BankID to login. Since i still dont have bank account....i requested the MinID and they sent it via post so that was easy:)
And since i have that i could also request the EU health card so thats done as well.

Education recognition @ NOKUT

http://www.nokut.no/en/Foreign-education/NOKUTs-general-recognition/Apply-for-recognition/

Thanks to all the forums i realized there is this website where you can get youe higher level education recognized. It does take around 2 month though.
i dont know if companies need it or not but its good to have it so you can see what is your level and also you need it if you wanna study and just general it doesnt hurt to have your eductaion approved and recognized in norwegian. I think its free, you only pay for the stamp when you send the papers in;))
I will do it and update. Xoxo

London vs. Oslo

I miss London....i miss my friends, colleauges..
Yesterday i was looking at some pictures and today im watching Oprhan Black where they flew back to london lol.
i miss it. But i guess coz i feel a bit lonely here since i dont have friends yet and havent started living my life as i did in london.
This is a whole different lifestyle here, but this is what i signed up for :)
It is very different. True that there are not many things you can visit as in many sightseeing places but there are the fjords and all the beautiful places you can go to.
i knew this when i moved here and in fine with this:)
It is really a place for outdoorsy people.
One thing which gives me peace when i miss london and the busy life is that i didnt go out on the weekends much anyways so its not like it will be so different here .
i loved going to the parks in london and here i can just drive anywhere and everything is green and all so i love that!!
Hopefully i will soon have a job and can move to my own place and can start living;)
And then i will write a comparism blog entry about it:))

Who is reading the posts?:)

Okay all i can see is that few ppl read it and plus 1'd it but who is reading it? I dont even know who can see it:)

Districts

This is just a bit info about the districts here around oslo

How to start in norge

Okay according to a fellow hungarian, these are the steps:

You arrive and register at the police station-politi-.
Then you go to skattestaten and apply for d-nummer (although i heard you need a job and all but i have no idea..i got my dnummer via nav..)
Then if you have a flat you will have contract (in my case nothing coz i live w my fam)
Then if you get a job, then you will be registered etc and can open a bankaccount.
then after working for 3month, you take the 3 lønnslip with you plus housecontract plus arbeidskontrakt plus passport and you get the personnummer which gives you residency for 5 years.

Well i will update on all this along the way. And also on tuesday after my appt with politi

Things you need -or at least i do when relocating

Okay so. First you gonna need
d nummer and once you have a job and after working for 3 month or so you will have the permanent personnummer.
i went to NAV straight and applied for the dnummer and now i have it.
i didnt go to the police first coz ive been told i dont need to but i got an appointment and will go next tuesday and i will clear everytbing coz for now its complicated:)

Drivers licence - so i went to exchange my licence today.. not happening.. first they told me to come back w dnummer. Okay i did. And now they told me that i can change the hungarian to norwegian BUT with dnummer it will only be valid for 4yrs. And i need to change it once i have the permanent (personnummer). Sigh.
so again, i couldnt do anything about it so i will have to wait...

Bank account - so apparently there is no way you can open bankaccount with dnummer only:(( you need to have a job.
skandiabanken allows you to open w passport only but they need personnummer and not dnummer. Argh

Helse kort - its like the EU health card. But you can only register with BankID so you need to have bankaccount first...
idporten.difi.no

Buying a car

Dont know much about it yet but you can find deals on finn.no -where you find everything!! Its like gumtree in UK.

And also supposedly autopartner.no gives good deals as well.
will update this section if i have info

Polish shops

We love polish shops because the food is like at home in hungary:)
So here is some info what i got from fellow hungarians:

At the Hausmannsgate bus stop there is a polish shop. The name is some russian name..
Below the Anker studetbolig hus there is a Narvesen and its on the corner

Also at Storgata there is a butikk called My Call next to 7/11and next to it there is a vegetable stand (zoldseges) and on the top floor there are some frozen goodies like derelye and also turo rudi :)
