Legal procedures and Immigration policy. The Immigration Act of 15th May 2008 regulates the entry of foreigners into Norway and their right to residence and work. An important change with the 2008 Immigration Act is that the term ‘refugee’ is now used to include persons who meet the criteria of article 1A of the 1951 Refugee Convention as well as persons covered by the non-refoulement provisions of any international convention to which Norway is a party. The most important of these is the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. In other words, persons who are eligible for Subsidiary Protection Status under the EU Qualification Directive will be granted refugee status under the Norwegian Immigration Act.

Usually, an application for a residence permit is presented to a diplomatic mission abroad and the case is considered by UDI in Norway. If the applicant is already present in Norway, the Police is the front agency in Norway for receiving the application and registering the information. This involves answering questions and guiding applicants, registration of identity and travel history for asylum seekers, conducting interviews and issuing permits that have been granted. The Norwegian Directorate of integration and Diversity (IMDi)’s most important tasks are: - To settle refugees - To contribute to qualifying immigrants for work and education - To follow up the Introduction Act - To contribute to a dialogue between the majority population and minorities - To prevent and combat forced marriages - ...
