IR-12: Cases that can affect basic national interests or foreign policy considerations

The internal guidelines (IR) are the overriding governing documents that are intended to ensure high quality and efficient case processing. They set out the key aspects of UNE’s legal obligations and its case processing procedures. UNE’s director general approves all internal guidelines. The internal guidelines are only available in Norwegian.

IR-12 regulates UNE's handling of all individual cases according to the Norwegian Immigration Act and the Norwegian Nationality Act that can affect basic national interests or foreign policy considerations. Furthermore, it regulates UNE's handling of cases that fall under the export control regulations.

The purpose of the IR-12 is to facilitate and secure a good and homogeneous exchange of information between UNE, the Ministry of Justice and Public Security (JD), the Ministry of Education and Research (KD), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and the Police Security Service (PST) in individual cases.
