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:

  1. Fill out this form (eksternt nettsted)
  2. Sign the form
  3. Scan or take a photo of the form you have completed and signed
  4. 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.
