I had collective protection in Norway before, but I moved abroad. Can I come back to Norway?

You may return to Norway if you wish.

If you had collective protection status, but your permit has expired, you will have to go the National Arrivals Centre to apply for protection again.

If you have been rejected an extension of your collective protection permit or your permit has expired, this may have consequences for your stay in Norway.

If your permit is still valid, you will usually not have to go to the National Arrivals Centre. More information about what you should do when you arrive in Norway is available here.
