> this is not a cradle to grave society
Specifically: if you are pregnant approaching 7-8 months, if you become seriously ill, or if you are old enough to need care, you are flown off to the mainland. You're literally not allowed to be born or die there.
- incompatible 7y agoI'm curious about how that works for people with no visa or right to residence or healthcare in Norway.
- semi-extrinsic 7y agoThey will probably never get there in the first place - there's actually passport control at the airport before you leave the mainland.
- incompatible 7y agoYou could get there with a tourist visa and stay? After the visa has expired, I guess they'd let you back into Norway mainland before potentially kicking you out again, perhaps with a large medical bill. Edit: The article mentions for example "significant Thai and Filipino population"; I assume not all would have a right of residence in Norway.
