Moving to Norway can be exciting, but also overwhelming. Between paperwork, housing, and adjusting to daily life, it’s easy to feel lost. That’s where professional settling-in services step in—helping expats and families feel at home faster.
Visas can be overwhelming. We handle forms, explain every step, and guide you until approval, making the process stress-free.
New country, new details. We’ll help with banks, mobile plans, and essentials so settling in Norway feels smooth and comfortable.
Finding housing abroad is tough. We simplify everything, matching you with homes that fit your lifestyle, needs, and budget perfectly.
If you’ve just landed in Norway, chances are you’re juggling a dozen different tasks at once. Finding a place to live, registering with local authorities, opening a bank account, and figuring out healthcare—it’s a lot.
Settling-in services are designed to make that process easier. Instead of trying to navigate everything alone, you get a trusted partner who knows the system inside out. A relocation consultant can help secure housing and negotiate leases, register you with the local municipality and national ID systems, guide you through healthcare and insurance, set up your banking, and help you get oriented with your neighborhood and cultural customs.
At Pytheas, we specialize in this kind of support. Think of us as your local guide, here to reduce stress and make sure you don’t miss any critical steps during your first weeks in Norway.
Every newcomer’s needs are different, but here’s how we typically help:
Home Search & Lease Negotiation – Norway’s rental market can be competitive. We help you find the right place, review contracts, and avoid common pitfalls.
Local Registration – From residency paperwork to ID numbers, we ensure you’re properly registered with local authorities.
Healthcare & Insurance – We guide you through signing up for Norway’s healthcare system and understanding what’s covered.
School & Childcare Enrollment – For families, we simplify the process of finding schools or kindergarten options that fit your children’s needs.
Banking – We help open local bank accounts so your finances are set up smoothly.
Cultural Orientation – From grocery shopping quirks to public transport tips, we provide practical advice that makes everyday life smoother.
Our approach is practical and personal—we don’t just give you a checklist; we walk you through each step.
Settling-in support isn’t one-size-fits-all. Different people rely on it for different reasons:
