I am a Ukrainian citizen and want to apply for protection (asylum). What do I need to do?
As of 15 July 2024, anyone applying for protection must go to Råde to register their application at the National Arrival Centre. The Norwegian police have more information about where to register. (eksternt nettsted)
We cannot offer you a place to stay until you have registered at the National Arrival Centre.
You have to make your own travel arrangements to the National Arrival Centre, which means that you will have to pay for and organise your transportation to the centre. Children travelling alone (unaccompanied minor asylum-seekers) and others in particularly vulnerable situations will be able to get help to travel to the National Arrival Centre. Exceptions can also be made for anyone whose life or health is at risk.
If you have fled the war in Ukraine and applied for protection in Norway, it is the immigration authorities who decide whether your application is to be included in a group assessment or whether it is to be assessed individually. Applications that are assessed as part of the group assessment may grant you collective protection, while applications that are assessed individually may grant you protection (asylum) on ordinary terms.
