I guess the information that's missing is what your actual salary is. Perhaps it's so low that they consider that you can't possibly live on that in Norway?

I'm talking 10-12 years ago when you could open a "condo account" with that specific use.

I'm sorry. I assumed you knew the meaning of the word "rule" as you used it. 🤷 As you guessed it's not a law.

@Greg *******
I believe the general rule, what was said on the various banks sites, was no accounts on tourist visa. It was just not enforced.

Cheezes. It relates to your question about the legality. It's common practice. All over the f**ing world.

Ok, let me put it another way: the US does the same. Tax you on foreign income.

"U.S. citizens and resident aliens are taxed on their worldwide income. You must report your wages and other earned income, both domestic and foreign-sourced, on the correct lines of your Form 1040."

So, naturally all countries can do that.

@Zarko ******
on the other hand US taxes you on income earned in other countries?
