Permanent residence permit with refugee status (protection/asylum)


This information is for persons holding a permanent residence permit with refugee status (protection) in Norway.

If you have a permanent residence permit, UDI may decide that your residence permit is no longer valid (revocation). This may mean that you will no longer allowed to live in Norway or that you will be granted a new residence permit and your residence period in Norway will start over.

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