The magnetic north pole on Bathhurst Island Canada and has research stations based there but you can live on the island. The location of the magnetic north pole is constantly changing at a rate of about 11 km each year. So unless you're prepared to buy a new house that often to stay on top of it, it's probably not worth it.
The north pole that we all think of as where Santa lives is being claimed by Denmark on behalf of Greenland which is a Danish territory. The Pole is supposed to belong to whichever country the Lomonsov Ridge (an undersea mountain ridge running under the Pole) is attached. But it is not known for sure whether the ridge is part of the Greenland, Norwegian or Russian shelf, or whether it is detached from all three.
So it sounds like if you're a Canadian or Danish, you'll need to get your immigration papers in order first then you can ask the government for permission to live there.

Have a look at the below website article - and then make your mind up as to whether anyone would want to actually live there! However, it does say how to visit there!
The other website is a webcam at the North Pole.

I think the question isn't whether it's allowed but whether it's possible. You see, there is no land in the north pole, it's just an ice cap. The arctic circle, though, is surrounded by land: Russia, Canada, Greenland, Alaska, Norway, Finland, Sweden, and perhaps a portion of Iceland.
On the contrary, Antarctica IS a continent, but there's no political country there and it's surrounded by oceans, far away from any land.

The inuit tribe also known as eskimo's live in the north pole. Parts of Russia, and the Scandinavia countries also are apart of the Artic circle. It is inadvisable without knowladge of artic survival. The inuits have a different matabolism to other people and have a genetic compossition that allows them to survive in sub-zero temperatures, they will never be able to survive in hot countries though.

Nope. Santa and his associates lease the whole north pole from Canada and Russia

It's not a question of whether or not people are allowed to live there... it's more a question of how unhospitable the climate is there. Santa has plenty of extra fat to keep him warm...not sure how those poor little elves survive, though.

Nature says no.
Legally ... the regions belong to canada, greenland, russia, etc. I imagine citizens of those countries could legally head on up there, but its quite inhospitable ;)

I figure as long as Santa doesn't mind! Really I don't know why they wouldn't be.
