Can my family abroad apply for family reunification when I have collective protection in Norway?


Your family abroad can apply for family immigration according to standard rules once you have received collective protection.

You or your family member must submit an electronic application in our Application Portal. Your family member must go to a VFS Application Centre to personally hand in their application documents.

Due to the security situation, the VFS application centre and the embassy in Ukraine are closed (external website). Therefore, it is impossible to apply for family immigration from Ukraine now, but the Embassy in Ankara handles applications from Ukrainian citizens.

Information regarding how to submit your application can be found here.

The fee for adults who apply for family reunification with someone granted collective protection is NOK 7 800. If you are not already a family but wants to become one, the fee is NOK 10 500. There is no fee for children under the age of 18. A complete overview of the application fees for family immigration is available here.
