The Norwegian Government has decided that from 1 February 2018, applicants for the Voluntary Assisted Return Programme are no longer eligible for extra financial support for presenting a valid travel document (VTD) at the time of applying.

Until 31 January, migrants who present a valid travel document (VTD) at the time of applying for the Voluntary Assisted Return Programme may be entitled to an additional NOK 5,000 , in addition to the usual Financial Support to Return.
