Can I withdraw my application for individual protection?
Yes, you can withdraw your application for an individual assessment of protection at any time during the process up, until UDI has made a decision in your case.
If you withdraw your application for protection, you will have to leave Norway.
This does not apply if:
- you have a different type of residence permit to stay in Norway
- you are waiting for the decision on a different application for residency in Norway
- you have stayed in the Schengen area for less than 90 days
How to withdraw an application for protection:
- Fill out this form (eksternt nettsted)
- Sign the form
- Scan or take a photo of the form you have completed and signed
- Attach the form to an email and send it to pu@politiet.no
The police will later contact you.
You will receive a decision on refusal of entry or stay.
If you have submitted your travel documents to the Norwegian authorities and have questions regarding their return, you can contact the police at +47 22 34 24 00.
UDI cannot answer questions about your travel documents. If you do not have valid travel documents, you must obtain them yourself.
