Police strike
Due to a labour strike
by Norwegian police officers, some applicants in Norway will have trouble handing
in their application for residence permits, citizenships and visas. Pleas note!
The offices of the police in Oslo are now open again.
In the police districts outside Oslo, opening
hours will vary. Therefore, please check with your local police whether the
office is open.
This also applies to you who wish to collect your
residence permit from the police or order a residence card.
You may still
register your application online, but you will have to wait until the strike is over
until you can hand in the additional documentation for your application.
No employees of the UDI are on strike, so applications which the UDI
has received from the police and the embassies will be processed as normal.
Renewals
For those who are applying to renew their
residence permit, it is normally a requirement that you must hand in your
application with all the required documentation to the police no later
than one month before your previous permit expires.
During the strike, it will now be sufficient
that you have registered your application online no later than one month before
your previous permit expires.
This means that you will have the same rights with
regards to work, studies etc while you are waiting for the application to be
processed, as long as the application is registered as submitted in the Application
Portal Norway no later
than one month before your previous permit expires.
Case processing times
The case processing times will still be calculated
from the day you hand in the complete application with documents to the police.
