If you want to withdraw an application that you have registered electronically, but not yet submitted in person, you must contact the embassy or the police station you chose in the application form. The fee cannot be refunded for any application you have submitted in person.
How the fees are decided
The application fee for a type of application reflects what it on average costs embassies, the police and UDI to process this type of application. When the fee is calculated, both costs that are directly connected to the case processing and a share of the indirect costs (such as management, general operations and IT) are included, if relevant.
When Norwegian authorities evaluate and update the costs connected to the different application types, in order to set the fees, we use conservative estimates so that the applicants do not have to cover unnecessary expenses.
