Norwegian authorities are offering a "bonus" 10,000 kroner (£1,000) to asylum seekers willing to leave the country voluntarily.
The Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI) says the measure is less expensive than keeping refugees in immigration centres in the country.
Launched on Monday, the scheme will run for six weeks, state broadcaster NRK reported UDI saying.
The money will be paid to the first 500 asylum seekers to apply on a first-come, first-served basis.
“We need to entice more [people] to voluntarily travel back by giving them a bit more money on their way out. This will save us a lot of money because it is expensive to have people in the asylum centres,” Sylvi Listhaug, integration minister, said.
The 10,000 kroner would be in addition to the 20,000 kroner already given to asylum seekers and migrants in an irregular situation who wish to return voluntarily from Norway to their country of origin.
Ms Listhaug said she hoped this project would be successful and would support those who return to their homeland voluntarily.
UDI said that many of the people arriving from Syria, Iraq, the Middle East and Africa expect to receive protection quickly and cannot wait the months or even years the process can take.
“Many cannot wait (for the asylum process to run its course). They have family at home who expect them to be able to help," Katinka Hartmann, UDI's head, said in December.
“For a long time, Norway has not been able to forcibly return people to Somalia, but now that we can, I think that more Somalis with an obligation to leave will opt for assisted return.
“It’s important to have more initiatives of this kind in the future,” she said.

Move ‘em on, head ‘em out Rawhide!
LMAO!!!!
As far as I know, I was the first to suggest giving our illegal aliens 5 grand each to go back home. It would ultimately save money.
The Danes are now paying the Danegeld!
Time for a vacation to Norway!
Hmmmmmmmmmm
put them on a plane home and give them the return fare...
yeah that will work...
Why do they have to be paid? They weren't paid to come there. Just pack them up and get them out and tell them to never come back.
That is how it used to be done.
They’d be back in a month waiting for the next 5 grand.
Penny pinching misers; each of those asylum seekers will likely average out to $240,000 in government services and incarceration for their lifetimes, and they offer a mere thousand?
There must be a bonus - like Norway issued identity papers which can be used for entry into other lovely locations that will likely offer to pay them to leave as well.
I don’t think $100,000 will deter them from their Koranic mission: ruin the nation (a page from Sheik Obama’s book) and restore order through the implementation of Sharia law.
They don’t have to burn down the churches as most Scandinavians, as well as Americans and Canadians, don’t believe in God anyway.
And, American Jewry is committing suicide by electing and re-electing the very ones who hate them: Democrats. Agnostic Bernie will come to the rescue though.
The Muslims. “I want to see the treasury room where all this bribery comes from. I want THAT!” “and I want your blonde women, too!”
Too late. The savages will just leave, change their names and come back again to collect more money and shag the sheep.
Bring warm clothes.
*Norwegian authorities are offering a “bonus” 10,000 kroner*
Well, let’s see, I’ve got a ten kroner, a five kroner, a twenty kroner? No wait, that’s another ten kroner. A fimty kroner? How much is that?!?
$1000 would have made a huge difference in their lives RIGHT WHERE THEY WERE.
IT would have been a hell of a lot cheaper to grant them some money and have them move THEMSELVES wherever they wanted to go
Still STUPID, but better
Once you pay the Danegeld, you never get rid of the Dane.
It only helps if it is very hard for them to return.
Money making opportunity.
Come in to US, pick up $5K, go home.
