The Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI) has grown tired of the
Eritreans who have been granted protection in Norway, often visit their home
country. Now add the restrictions on travel opportunities.
Immigration told the newspaper Vårt Land that there is extensive travel
where Eritreans living in Norway visiting the homeland through Eritrea's
neighboring countries.
Eritreerne som reiser slik oppsøker hjemlandets ambassade i ett av
nabolandene og får utstedt pass, som ikke stemples ved besøk i Eritrea.
Directorate wonder why Eritreans who claim to have escaped from an
oppressive regime, the applicant country.
Eritreans are mainly granted protection because they fear persecution by
the authorities in their home country, said press adviser John Olav Kroken
(UDI). Therefore, they narrow down the travel opportunities for Eritreans
who are granted residence in Norway.
"By granting and renewal of travel documents and immigration passports to
citizens of Eritrea, the document shall be valid for all countries except
Eritrea, Ethiopia and Sudan," according to a recent circular from the
Directorate.
