Can I lose my residence permit?

In some cases, you may lose your residence permit.

Losing a permit means that UDI has decided to revoke your residence permit, making it invalid. If your permit is revoked, you will either no longer be allowed to live in Norway or you will be granted a new residence permit and your residence period in Norway will restart.

There may be different reasons why you lose your residence permit, for example, if:

  • you have provided incorrect or incomplete information
  • the reason why you were granted residence in Norway no longer applies
  • you have received a new type of residence permit
