Norway's national policy on immigration outlines responsibilities and requirements for arriving immigrants. The Norwegian Directorate of Immigration processes applications, operates asylum reception centers, and handles expulsion cases. Immigrants must pass an oral Norwegian and social studies test to apply for permanent residency if younger than 16 or older than 55, or be a skilled worker or family member. While applications are pending, non-permanent residents have temporary work permits and access to healthcare and monthly allowances. Key problems are the high costs of sending back immigrants whose applications are denied and difficulty returning immigrants without proper documentation.
