Christiane Heffermehl Lange

Christiane Heffermehl Lange is a unit leader at the Utlendingsdirektoratet (UDI) in Norway, where she oversees matters related to immigration and work permits. Recently, she was in the news for addressing concerns over the issuance of residency permits to companies that have violated labor laws. Lange emphasized that current legislation limits UDI's ability to impose sanctions for various labor violations, and clarified that many reported breaches do not warrant a quarantine, which is a significant topic in the ongoing discussions about labor rights and protections in Norway.
