Who is not eligible for collective protection
You are not eligible for collective protection if you:
- had your last permanent place of residence in an area that is considered by the Norwegian authorities as safe, and do not have close family members who have been granted collective protection
- had residency in a country other than Ukraine or Norway up until 24 February 2022.
- stayed illegally in Norway or had a duty to return on 24 February 2022.
- have dual citizenship in a country and UDI considers one of them to be safe (external website).
- have another residence permit in Norway that you may continue to have. See the supplementary list of eligibility requirements for collective protection.
- are not a Ukrainian citizen, but have had a residence permit in Ukraine. Please note that you may be entitled to collective protection in Norway if you had protection in Ukraine. If so, you must provide documentation confirming that you had residency there on the basis of protection.
If you are among those who are not eligible for collective protection, we will assess your need for protection on an individual basis.
