How to applyWhat does a prohibition against entry mean?
- If you have been expelled from Norway, you are subject to a prohibition on entering Norway for one, two, five years, ten years, or permanently.
- If this applies to you, you have either been deported from Norway by the police, or you have received a letter from the UDI informing you that you have been subject to a prohibition against entry.
- You cannot return to Norway until the prohibition against entry has expired.
- If you nevertheless wish to return to Norway before the prohibition against entry has expired, you have to submit an application.
- The UDI can lift the prohibition against entry or allow you to come to Norway for a short visit. We will consider the grounds you state and your need to enter Norway in relation to the grounds for your expulsion.
Requirements for lifting of a prohibition against entry
- There must be new circumstances in your case.
- You must have a special reason for wanting to travel to Norway, for example that you are going to give evidence in court, attend a funeral or visit a seriously ill family member.
When can you apply?
Normally, it must be at least two years since you left Norway.
