Have applied Living at or moving from a reception centre


Information for people who wish to live at a reception centre or who want to move to a private address.

UDI offers a place to live to everyone who applies for protection in Norway. Asylum reception centres are modest, temporary accommodation solutions where you can stay while waiting for an answer to your application for protection.

If you have a place in an asylum reception centre, you must always remember to receive approval for any absence lasting more than 3 days. If you do not, you will lose your place. If you lose your place, and you wish to continue living in a reception centre, you will have to contact the regional office responsible for the reception centre where you were living and apply again for accommodation. The regional office will then determine which reception centre you will be offered a place to live in. It is not sure that you will will get a place in the same reception centre or in the same region.
