Want to renew Protection (asylum) and strong humanitarian considerations
Не всё содержание этой страницы имеется на русском.
Procedure for renewing
- book an appointment with the police 3 months before your residence permit expires.
- meet up with the police at the appointed time and date.
This will ensure that you have the same rights as before relating to work, studies, etc. while you are waiting for us to decide on your application. You will retain these rights until you have received an answer to your application, even if your residence permit expires in the meantime.
Even if you applied in time, you may still have trouble travelling in and out of Norway while waiting for your new permit because you don’t have a valid residence card. Without a valid residence card, you can be stopped in the border control in other countries. If you are abroad and did not apply for renewal before you left Norway, you may encounter difficulties trying to return to Norway.
It is not possible to obtain a new residence card until a new residence permit is granted. If you applied in time, we will send you confirmation which shows that you have legal residency while you are waiting for the outcome of your application.
