Asylum applications from Syria on hold


The Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI) has decided to put asylum applications from Syria on hold until further notice.

Published: 09.12.2024

The reason for this is the recent major events and changes in Syria. However, the situation in the country is still very unclear.

Putting asylum applications from Syria on hold means that UDI will not process applications, i.e. neither reject nor grant asylum applications from Syrians who have applied for asylum in Norway, for the time being.

Applicants from Syria who have not yet been called for an interview will also not be called for as long as the asylum case processing is put on hold.

The decision is effective from 9 December 2024.
