I have collective protection or a residence permit in another European country. May I be granted collective protection in Norway?
If you meet the conditions for collective protection, we will process your application for collective protection in Norway, even if you have lived in a different country after February 24, 2022.
If you are not eligible for collective protection, you may still apply for protection. If you do so, your application will be individually assessed.
If you have already applied for protection in another European country, or have a residence permit there, then that country may still be responsible for processing your application, and you may be required to return there. This is in keeping with the Dublin Regulation. More about the Dublin Regulation and how it works.
Example of when the Dublin Regulation applies: You have a residence permit in another European country and left Ukraine before 24 February 2022. As a result, you are not eligible for protection in Norway. We will then contact the country you received your resident permit from so that your application for protection is processed there.
