You may receive travel support for your initial trip to Norway, an annual travel home, in relation to field work, and for your final travel home.
How to apply
In order to apply for travel support, you have to contact your academic institution to obtain a Q-form, which you must then fill in. The academic institution must also confirm the information in a specific field of the form.
When applying for travel support in relation to field work in your home country, you also have to enclose a confirmation from your supervisor or other person with academic responsibility stating that the field work is an approved and necessary part of the education in Norway. The field work period must appear (date-from and dato-to).
Terms and conditions regarding travel support
Travel to Norway
You may receive support for travel to Norway when your course of education starts.
Annual travel home
You may receive support for one visit home a year if your education in Norway has lasted for at least one year. If your education starts in the spring semester, you may receive support for a visit home when your study has lasted for one semester or more.
Support for annual travel home can be given for any time of year you choose to travel, provided the academic institution approves the absence. It is a condition that you have not been on field work during the semester before or will not be on field work during the semester after.
Field work in home country
If field work in your home country is included in the education, you may receive support for a round trip travel. Support will be given for an extended study year if the field work is carried out during the summer, but only for the actual period of the field work.
For a journey to your home country to be approved as field work, it is a requirement that you will actually collect source material in your home country. You must therefore attach a confirmation from your supervisor or other person with academic responsibility.
Final travel home
You may receive support for your final travel home after concluding your education in Norway.
