Reply from UDI


UDI decides whether your residence permit should be withdrawn or not.

If UDI decides that you will lose your residence permit, you will receive a decision from UDI. The decision states why UDI is withdrawing your residence permit.

UDI will consider whether you can get a new permit, for example if:

  • you have a special attachement to Norway
  • there are strong humanitarian considerations in your case, or
  • if you are protected against return to your home country

If you do not receive a new permit, you must leave Norway. Your decision will state whether you must leave Norway and what the deadline is for leaving Norway.

It is possible that the UDI will not withdraw your permit, in which case you will receive a decision stating “No withdrawal”.
