Hello, are there any norwegian in this group with experience or knowledge about requirements on upholding membership in the norwegian "Folketrygden" when working at homeoffice in Thailand for a norwegian employer. In this case its not the employer who sends me to Thailand. Employer have agreed to let me work from Thailand as i have a thai girlfriend and the requirements are different in these cases as i do understand. But NAV in Norway gives me different answeres when i ask about when i can go back to Thailand after my first stay of max 12 months. I will apply for a DTV visa. Thanks for anyone who can give me some input.
