Deportation

Deportation is when the police escort you out of Norway.
  • People who do not have legal residence in Norway or who have had an expulsion decision imposed by UDI, can be deported.
  • The National Police Immigration Service is responsible for deportations, sometimes in cooperation with a local police district in Norway.
  • If you have been deported by the police and you wish to return to Norway at a later point in time, you must first pay the costs of your deportation. In order to find out how much you owe and how to settle your debt, please call the National Police Immigration Service (Politiets utlendingsenhet) at telephone number +47 22 34 24 00, or send an email to: pu-regnskap@politiet.no.
