2023: Arrival of 60 thousand Ukrainian refugees. Norway says it's too much
In October-November 2023, Norway accepted 50 percent more Ukrainians than all northern countries combined. According to the UN, more than 60 thousand Ukrainian refugees arrived in Norway by December 2023. In November, the number of arrivals began to grow sharply, about 1,000 people come every week - about two-thirds arrive directly from Ukraine, the rest in transit through other European countries.
"Never before have so many refugees been accommodated in Norway in such a short time," said the Norwegian Immigration Authority (UDI).
In this regard, the authorities are tightening control over Ukrainian refugees. Tightening takes place in four directions:
- Cancellation of payments retroactively per child after obtaining refugee status for the previous year;
- Restricting the possibility of travel between Ukraine and Norway for persons who have received refugee status. Norwegian services will ensure that refugees actually live in Norway most of the time, and if trips contradict the conditions for obtaining this status, they will have to say goodbye;
- Refugees are obliged to seek help from the National Reception Center in the municipality of Rode, who have arrived in other regions of the country will not be supported at all;
- Hotels and hotels will no longer be used as refugee accommodation, they will be placed in specialized detention facilities - refugee centers.
The Norwegian authorities admit that so far in their country there have been too soft conditions for new arrivals. But in the near future, measures will be taken to correct the situation and solve the current crisis.
As of August 2023, benefits in Norway were 2-4 times higher than in Sweden, compared with Denmark, the level of benefits in Norway was about twice as high.
The authorities plan to further tighten the policy if the current decisions are not effective enough. The government of the country explained that the number of refugees now does not correspond to the capabilities of Norway.
