Last weeks have been extremely busy but it looks like everything is planned and in 8 days we should be in Viborg with all our house belongings.
There were quite some obstacles our the way:
- legal issues: because theoretically I am not moving to Denmark yet and drTBBE has never been a resident in Norway, we should pay custom duties and the VAT tax from all out house belonging when bringing them back into EU. Insane.... Anyway, the EU borders aren't checked that well..... and half of the problem is solved already ;-p
- logistic issues: as a foreign person in DK, drTBBE can only get a credit card after 6 months... Most of the car rental companies accept only credit cards (no debit cards or deposits) and they must be shown before getting the car (I would have to travel to DK...). Fortunatelly drTBBE used his natural charm mixed with persistence and saved us a lot of hassle and money... uffff!
Both of us had also a very busy period at work and I can admit now - I completely underestimated the amount of time needed for organization and realization of a removal from on country to another.
Anyway, next time it will be easier :-)

Damn ! I did not have the opportunity to go visit you in Norway and you won't be there anymore !
ReplyDeleteWell maybe Denmark then :)
Well anyway good luck with all these things to pack and do to switch countries.
