I have received an answer on my application. Can I travel on holiday abroad?

Yes, you may travel out of Norway while you have collective protection.

You cannot travel to Ukraine without it having potential consequences for your residence permit.

Please note that you must stay in Norway for at least half of the time you have a permit. If you have been outside Norway for more than 6 months over the course of the past year when you had collective protection, UDI will consider revoking your permit.

When travelling abroad, you need to have:
  • a valid passport/immigrant’s passport/refugee travel document, and
  • a valid residence card
If you do not have a valid passport/travel documents or a valid residence card, you should not travel out of Norway. You may run into difficulties at the airport, when you try to enter another country, or when you try to travel back to Norway.
 
The residence card is documentation of your residence permit in Norway. In Norway, the police are responsible for border control. UDI cannot answer questions about how border control is practiced in Norway or in other countries. UDI cannot issue confirmations that can be used for travel, and that airlines or other countries' authorities will accept with certainty. All travel without a residence card will therefore be at your own risk.
 
You should not book trips abroad until you have both a valid passport and a valid residence permit. Unfortunately, we cannot prioritise your case even if you have already planned and paid for a trip.
 
Remember that you may need to clear it with your municipality, NAV or your school before going on holiday for a while. If you live in a reception centre, you have to apply with the centre for a leave of absence to avoid losing your spot there.
