The Ministry of Justice and Public Security issued instructions under the Aliens Act which allows the ministry to give the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI) general instructions on legal interpretation, discretion, and case prioritisation. This instruction addresses cases where a recognized refugee has travelled to their home country in violation of the conditions of their residence permit in Norway. It replaces GI-01/2016 and includes updates based on recent case law and UDI’s request for clarification of certain issues.
