Reply from UDI

UDI decides whether your residence permit should be withdrawn or not.

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

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

  • you are caring for minor children who retain Norwegian citizenship
  • 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 when the decision is final.

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