Expulsion decision

Most people receive a decision within 10 months of the date when the police or UDI opens an expulsion case and sends out advance notice of the case.

Applications to revoke a prohibition of entry

EU/EEA nationals: 

Most people receive an answer within 6 months of the date when UDI receives their application. 

Nationals of countries outside the EU/EEA

Most people receive an answer within 8 months of the date when UDI receives their application. 

If you have also applied for a residence permit, your total waiting time will be the time it takes to receive an answer about lifting the prohibition of entry plus the time needed to receive an answer to your application for a residence permit.

For nationals of countries outside the EU/EEA who, after they have received a prohibition of entry to Norway, became covered by the EEA regulations

Most people receive an answer within 6 months of the date when UDI receives their application. 

We still cannot guarantee that you will receive a decision on your application within this period. If we need to carry out further investigations, it may take longer before you receive a decision.

Appeals concerning expulsions

Within 3 months of the date when UDI and the police receive your appeal, we will either reverse the decision or send your case to the Immigration Appeals Board (UNE) to consider your appeal. 

You can find information on UNE’s website about how long it takes from when UNE receives your appeal until you receive an answer from them (eksternt nettsted).
