Read the guide →Norway: permanent residence absence and citizenship release
Start with the actual UDI category and obtain its current written instructions.

Keep access and reporting after departure while the residence review runs.
Read the guide →Keep three decisions separate
| Decision | What to check |
|---|---|
| Tax residence | Travel, homes, work, income sources and the relevant tax year. A PR card or passport does not settle tax residence. |
| Immigration permission | Your exact permit category, absence conditions, renewal and right to return. Do this before leaving. |
| Citizenship | Keeping a foreign passport while living in India is different from applying for Indian citizenship and renouncing another nationality. |
India-side routes: Indian passport, foreign passport with OCI, or citizenship application
Build your move file
Keep travel and residence records; tax returns and payment evidence; ownership, acquisition cost and income records for each asset; pension terms; permit and passport histories; and each family member’s identity documents. Separate salary, rent, interest, dividends, gains, business income, inheritance, gifts and pensions for the adviser review. Trusts, companies, cryptoassets and estates can need specialist treatment beyond these guides.
