Permanent residence permit


This information is aimed at persons holding a permanent residence permit in Norway.

If you have a permanent residence permit, the UDI can decide that your residence permit is no longer valid. It may mean that you are no longer allowed to live in Norway or that you will be granted a new residence permit and your residence period in Norway will restart.

If you lose your permanent residence permit, you also lose your Norwegian travel documents.
