In order to be granted individual protection in Norway, you must fulfil the relevant requirements for international protection, which are stricter than for collective protection. You will have to substantiate your fulfulment of the requirements. In order to have the right to individual protection, you must have a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of ethnicity, origin, skin colour, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or for reasons of political opinion, or face a real risk of being subjected to the death penalty, torture or other inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment upon return to your country of origin. As part of the assessment of your need for individual protection, UDI will take into account whether the authorities in your home country can provide you with protection, and whether there are any areas in your home country where it is safe and feasible for you to return to. The areas that the Norwegian authorities consider safe are: Cherkasy Chernivtsi Ivano-Frankivsk Khmelnytskyi Kirovohrad Kyiv (province of Kyiv, not city) Lviv Poltava Rivne Ternopil Vinnytsia Volyn Zakarpattia Zhytomyr We assess your need for protection on an individual basis, regardless of whether you are from these three or other counties. This is referred to as internal relocation, and means that UDI reckons you will be safe if you move to a different area of your country. We will make an individual assessment in each case. The assessment of which areas are considered safe, is subject to change.

You will keep your Ukrainian passport while staying in Norway. If you need a new passport, please contact the Ukrainian Embassy in Norway. Can I travel to Ukraine when I am under collective protection in Norway? No. In general, you are not allowed to travel to visit Ukraine while under collective protection. You may travel back to Ukraine if you have a legitimate reason for doing so, but there are very few reasons that are deemed acceptable. Read more about what will happen if you travel to Ukraine. How long is my permit good for? The permit you are issued in connection with collective protection is valid for one year at a time. You can be granted collective protection for up to 5 years, provided that you continue to meet the permit requirements. If you have BankID or Buypass, you can log in and see information about your residence on My page (external website). Here you can also see the email address and phone number you are registered with at UDI. I have had collective protection for close to four years. What happens when four years have passed? It is now possible to be granted collective protection for up to five years, provided that the requirements for the permit are still met. You may have your permit renewed even if you are from an area that the Norwegian authorities now consider safe. If you are a man aged 18–60 You may have your permit renewed if you have been granted collective protection and have a permanent exemption from military service. You may also have your permit renewed if you applied for collective protection before 5 May 2026. If you applied for collective protection after 5 May 2026 and were granted collective protection on the basis that you would have sole day-to-day care of your child, you may have your permit renewed if you still have sole day-to-day care in Norway. You may be granted a renewal even if the child turns 18 while you are in Norway. However, if the child’s mother comes to Norway, your permit will be revoked and it will not be renewed. How will it impact my permit if the Norwegian authorities decide to end the collective protection scheme?e? The collective protection scheme may end. If the collective protection scheme ends, you can still stay in Norway on the residence permit you have been granted until it expires. If you are granted collective protection, your application for individual protection will be put on hold and not processed as long as the collective protection scheme applies. If you no longer receive collective protection, or when the collective protection scheme ends, you will have the opportunity to request an assessment of protection on an individual basis. When this becomes applicable, you will receive information on how to proceed with the request. You will then also be given a deadline to notify that you want an individual assessment of protection. I have the right to participate in an introduction programme. What does that mean? When granted collective protection, you have the right to follow an introduction programme, which includes Norwegian and social studies training. You must contact the municipality where you reside to get information about your rights to participate in the introduction programme. The municipality will give you guidance on this. You can find information about the introduction programme in English, Ukrainian and Russian on IMDi's website (external website). I have discovered that my name or my date of birth has been registered wrong. What should I do? If you find out that UDI has your details wrong when you received your Asylum seeker card, decision letter or residence card, please notify us by filling out a contact form or by phone. UDI can update details about you in some instances even when they were registered in the National Population Register (Folkeregisteret). This is true in cases when the police or UDI have input the wrong information, for example, by misspelling your name during registration. If you have changed your name, such as changing your family name through marriage, you will need to contact the Norwegian Tax Administration (Skatteetaten) to update your information (eksternt nettsted). What happens if I lose my collective protection status in Norway? Changes to the rules concerning collective protection enter into effect on 1 July 2024. These changes will affect persons who have been denied an extension or whose permit has been revoked, resulting in the loss of collective-protection status.
