Where am I going to live?
On arrival and during treatment
When you first arrive in Norway, you will stay at a transit centre while waiting to be transferred to an ordinary reception centre. You will then be moved to a reception centre near a hospital, where you will receive treatment. If you need to be hospitalised, you will also be allocated a place in the reception centre. Your accompanying person will stay at the reception centre.
If the reception centre closest to the hospital is full, you will be transferred to a different reception centre. UDI and the reception centre will organise this. You will also receive financial support and clothing if needed.
After treatment
When your treatment is finished, you will be transferred to a reception centre that meets your needs. In most cases, the reception centre will be in a different municipality, so you will have to move after your treatment. You will stay at this reception centre until the Directorate of Integration and Diversity (IMDi) finds a municipality where you can live.
