Question - Retirement in Norway?

OleOleO

Hello, I have a question about retirement conditions in Norway. I have heard from a person I know who lives in Norway that it is possible to retire after 4 years of work and be able to receive minimum pension. Do you know if there is any truth to that? Thank you.

Thank you, I'm exploring some options. I'd like to come to Norway if possible, that's why I'm trying to acquire some information.

Hi

I have been working in Norway for quite a few years and never encountered this statement.  Honestly, I don't believe it. But I'm not 100%  sure so I recommend to contact the official authority or an international pension advisor.

But one thing is for sure: Even if you could retire after a few years your pension would be extremely low, maybe enough to buy a few sandwiches a month from it.
You only get paid out, what you paid in.....

Thank you , I will try to contact someone official to be sure about this.

Ole. That's the craziest thing I ever heard! No country in the world would let someone stay forever just because he or she had paid into a pension scheme for four years. Impossible!

Great link!
I found also the relevant link to the NAV minstepensjon:

It is possible though to get your time / entitlements (in regards to pension payements made in Norway)  recognised in another country.
