International Migration 2009-2010 SOPEMI-report for Norway
The Immigration Act of 15 May 2008 regulates the entry of foreign nationals into Norway and their right to residence and work. The act and the corresponding Immigration Regulation entered into force on 1 January 2010. The new act has modernised the former legislation. In particular, it clarifies certain aspects of the immigration regulations and the international legal obligations. The former act gave the government the power to determine many of the main principles through regulations, but the new act includes many of the more detailed provisions currently found in the Immigration Regulation. Due to the strong political interest in immigration issues, the national assembly, Stortinget, should decide more of the detailed provisions.
