All asylum applications from people who have traveled to Norway from Russia, and probably will be rejected (negative decision), shall be treated quickly.

– Immigration to Norway is controlled and strictly regulated. We have noticed that several of the asylum seekers that are coming now have a strong connection to Russia through dual citizenship, residence permits or visas. It is important that the Norwegian authorities are sending a clear signal to people who do not need protection or already are legally residing in Russia, says Mr. Anders Anundsen, Minister of Justice and Public Security.
