Your first day in Tanum

Tanum,approximately 20 kilometres from Oslo,will be the place you will be transferred from the police station.You will stay in Tanum not more than a week.You will stay in Tanum till you are done with medical check ups(a compulsory tuberculosis test and other tests you might need to check voluntarily,filling the form called personal declaration and attend an information meeting held by NOAS (Norwegian Organization for Asylum Seekers).
In Tanum you will be given some pieces of clothes,shoes and blankets.And you will not hate the food served in the cafe.You will probably think if the Norwegian people's favorite food is rice.Tea and cafe are something that you will find everywhere served...even in the office.
The NOAS will held an information meeting with you in a language you prefer.The meeting is accompanied by a movie in your language discussing the asylum process in Norway.In addition to this the NOAS will give you basic information on how to fill the personal declaration form and they will give you pamphlets that thoroughly clarify the asylum process.
A couple of days later you will present your application by completeing the personal declaration form.This is a form consisting of many questions about yourself, your family and your basis for seeking asylum. The form is completed three to four days after arrival at the asylum reception center at Tanum. You don’t have to complete an undertaking if you don’t know how to write. You must be careful in filling this form.
After you finish the above all,you will be transferred to transit camps located near Oslo.
Go to couple of weeks in transit camp
