Who receives an advance notice?


We send an advance notice to persons residing in Norway who we consider do not meet the conditions for an extension.

We do not send an advance notice to persons who have moved from Norway, do not have an address in the National Population Register (Folkeregisteret), or to persons whom we have reason to believe are no longer staying in Norway. You can find information about what to do if you have received a rejection but not an advance notice here.

Persons who have been granted another temporary residence permit while holding collective protection do not receive an advance notice of rejection. The reason for this is that, when applying for a new residence permit, they agreed that their existing permit would lapse if the new permit is granted. If the need arises later, these persons may apply for protection again under the Immigration Act Section 28.
