Can I my residence permit be taken away?
In some cases, you may lose your residence permit.
Losing a permit means that UDI has decided to revoke your residence permit, making it invalid. If your permit is revoked, you will either no longer be allowed to live in Norway or you will be granted a new residence permit and your residence period in Norway will restart.
A residence permit can be revoked for a variety of reasons, for example:
- providing incorrect or incomplete information
- staying too long outside Norway
- receiving a different type of residence permit
