Reply from UDI

UDI decides whether your citizenship should be withdrawn or not.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”.
