Can I lose the right to reside in Norway?
You must meet the requirements for the right to reside in Norway during your residence card's period of validity. Pursuant to the EU/EEA regulations, you are responsible for ensuring that you meet the requirements for the right to reside. This means that, even if your residence card is valid, you might not have legal residency in Norway. In such cases, UDI can determine that your residence card is no longer to be valid. This is called revocation of a residence card.
There are different reasons for potentially losing your residence card, including:
- you no longer have the right to reside in Norway because you no longer meet the requirements
- you have provided false or incomplete information
- you have been granted a different type of residence permit
We will notify you if we are considering revoking your residence card.
