The Norwegian parliament has decided that dual citizenship will be allowed for everyone who is, or wish to become, a Norwegian citizen.
On 6 December 2018, the Norwegian parliament decided that in the future everyone who is, or wish to become, a Norwegian citizen will be allowed to have dual citizenship.
It will take at least one year until the new rules are introduced.
When the new rules are introduced, it will also be possible for people who have lost their Norwegian citizenship according to the old rules, to get it back.
In the meantime, the old rules regarding dual citizenship still apply. This means that if you have applied for Norwegian citizenship, have been given a promise of Norwegian citizenship or have been told to release yourself from your previous citizenship the old rules still apply to you.
We do not yet know which date the new rules will be introduced.
As soon as we have any news, we will publish information here about the new rules and about what date they will be introduced.
