The police recommend that you read this before withdrawing your application:

On 24 February 2022, the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI) and Immigration Appeals Board (UNE) decided to stop all travel to Ukraine. This means that no Ukrainians will be repatriated from Norway to Ukraine, and they do not have a duty to travel to Ukraine for as long as the travel restriction lasts.

This applies to Ukrainians whose residence permit (any type) has expired, or who have a permit that is non-renewable (student, au pair, seasonal worker etc.). It will also apply to Ukrainians who do not have a biometric passport or whose visa-free period has expired.

If you are in this category, and decide not to apply for protection, or decide to withdraw your application for protection, you will have very limited rights during your period of residence in Norway.

You will not be given a personal ID number, and you will not have the rights that a residence permit entitles you to, such as:

Work permit
Introduction benefits
Place in reception centre
Settlement
Benefits from the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration (NAV)
Healthcare services – personal doctor etc.
Upper secondary school and studies

If you withdraw your application for collective protection and you have a valid residence permit, your residence status will not change until your current residence permit expires. When the permit expires, you will be in the same situation as other foreign nationals who have withdrawn their application.

If, after reading the information above, you still wish to withdraw your application for protection, you must do the following:
