What are the reasons why collective protection is not being extended?


In both the advance notice and the rejection decision, we explain the reasons why we are considering not extending collective protection. In the rejection decision, we also take into account the information you have provided us.

The reasons are:

  • You have stayed abroad for more than six months of your permit.
  • There are grounds for revoking/withdrawing your permit, for example because:
    • you have moved from Norway, or we have reason to believe that you have moved
    • you were not residing in Ukraine when the war broke out on 24 February 2022
    • you applied after 27 September 2024 and your last permanent place of residence was in one of the areas that UDI considers to be safe
    • you no longer have sole day-to-day care of a child under the age of 18 in Norway because the other person with parental responsibility has applied for a residence permit in Norway
