What do I need to do when I arrive in Norway?
When you arrive in Norway, you must attend two meetings: one with UDI and one with the police. These meetings are to confirm your identity and assess your need for protection. After the meetings, most refugees receive a residence permit for five years.
After five years, you can apply for a permanent residence permit, and after seven years you can apply for citizenship. Your application will only be approved if you meet all the requirements.
