Can I withdraw my application?


Yes, you may withdraw your application at any time in the process up until UDI has reached a decision regarding your case.

If you withdraw your application, you will have to leave Norway unless:

  • 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

  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
