You must fill in and submit a separate application form to apply to have the entry ban lifted at the same time as you apply for a visitor visa or residence permit.
The applications are processed by different departments at UDI.
-
What happens to my application while I wait?
- The embassy will forward both your applications to UDI together.
- Your application to have the prohibition against entry lifted will be considered first.
- If the prohibition against entry is not lifted, you will be notified. Your application for a residence permit or visitor visa will then be automatically rejected.
- If the prohibition against entry is lifted, you will be notified. Your application for a visitor visa or residence permit will then be sent to another department for consideration. This department will decide whether you meet the requirements for being granted a visitor visa or a residence permit.

What do I have to do if I move before my case is processed?
You are registered in the National Population Register
You have to report your new address to the National Population Register (external website) as soon as you know you will be moving. UDI automatically receives your new address from the register.
You are in Norway, but not registered in the National Population Register
If you are in Norway, and you move before your application has been processed, you must notify the police of your move no later than one week after you have moved. You can notify the police where you are moving to, or where you lived before.
You are abroad
If you are abroad, and you move before UDI has processed your application, you must notify the embassy or consulate where you submitted your application. If you fail to do this, you risk not receiving the answer to your application.
