Documentation of moving
We can accept a letter or declaration from your employer as documentation. If you have been unemployed, we accept documentation from the official authority.
Payment terms for those who do not return home
If you remain resident in Norway or travel to a country other than your home country, you will receive a payment schedule and must expect to repay the loan on normal terms. The rules for deferred payment and interest exemption will then also apply to you.
Waiver of debt with later return home
The debt can be waived even if you do not immediately travel home after completing your education. This applies, for example:
- if you do not receive any further support from Lånekassen but still choose to remain in Norway to complete or take more education
- if you choose to work in Norway for a period
However the debt cannot be waived until you can document that you have lived in your home country for at least a year.
Return to Norway
If your debt has been waived and you return to Norway within ten years, you must still repay the debt.
