Asylum seekers drop Norway - lowest figure in 20 years
Norway's increasingly stricter measures and tougher policies regarding refugees, have made asylum seekers drop Norway as their final destination when fleeing through peaceful Europe.
Last year, 3,460 asylum seekers came to Norway. It is the lowest figure in nearly 20 years, according to Immigration, UDI. Meanwhile, 12,700 asylum seekers were granted residence permit, which is a new record, reports TV2.
The asylum seekers who came last year, came from about 100 different countries, but most came from Eritrea (586), Syria (529) and Afghanistan (373), according to Immigration.
