Residence permit for witnesses in human trafficking cases

If you have given testimony as an injured party in a court case concerning human trafficking, or if you are a victim of human trafficking who has given a statement to the court or the police in criminal proceedings, you may apply for a residence permit (protection) as a witness in a human trafficking case.

You must apply for protection with the police. You can read more about applying for protection in Norway here.
