Want to apply Protection (asylum) and travel document for family members of refugees
Spouses, cohabitants and children of a person who has received a residence permit as a refugee in Norway, may apply for family immigration. After they have arrived in Norway they can apply for refugee status and travel document for refugees.
Family members who have not arrived in Norway yet
If you have a spouse, cohabitant or parent who has been given a residence permit as a refugee in Norway, you must first apply for family immigration
If you are granted a family immigration permit, you can move to Norway. When you arrive in Norway, you can apply for refugee status and a travel document for refugees. This is called ‘derived’ refugee status.
Family members already in Norway
If you have a spouse, cohabitant or parent who has been granted a residence permit as a refugee in Norway, and you have arrived in Norway through family immigration, you can now apply for refugee status and a travel document for refugees. This is called ‘derived’ refugee status.
