Deportation

Deportation means being escorted out of Norway by the police.
  • People who do not have legal residence in Norway or who have received an expulsion decision from the 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 later, you first have to pay the costs of your deportation. In order to find out how much money you owe and how to pay this debt, please call the National Police Immigration Service (PU), telephone number +47 22 34 24 00, og use the following email-adresse: pu-regnskap@politiet.no.
