The quota is determined by policy


The quota for resettlement refugees is a political decision.

The Norwegian parliament, the Storting, decides how many resettlement refugees Norway will receive per year. The Ministry of Justice and Public Security decides which main groups of refugees we are to receive. Information about the size of the quotas and sub-quotas in recent years is available at www.udiregelverk.no (external website).
