From CNBC Make It.

Wanting to see the world, Robert E. Yarber, 41, left the United States and set his sights on Norway. He received a skilled worker visa in May 2022, which he renews each year for about $640. Today, as a bar manager in Tromso — a city about 220 miles north of the Arctic Circle — he earns $26/hour and pays about $1,000/month for his one-bedroom apartment.
