30,000 sylum seekers

arrive without passports


33,000 asylum seekers have arrived in Norway without a passport or ID documents since 2005, and most of them are still in Norway, according to Aftenposten. The Aliens Office (UDI) will now refuse them work permit.

According to the police, there are several reasons why a large number of asylum sekers dispose of their ID documents.

One is that many fear that it may be revealed that they have earlier applied for asylum in other countries.

Earlier this year, the Department of Labour instructed the UDI to refuse work permit to asylum seekers without ID documents.
