Section 91. Liability for expenses, etc.

A foreign national who is escorted out of the realm under the Act is obliged to cover the cost of his or her own exit. The foreign national shall also pay expenses relating to guards where such are necessary because there is reason to fear that the foreign national will resist return or will behave in a threatening or dangerous manner in connection with exit. The claim is enforceable by execution.
If a guarantee has been provided for expenses under the first paragraph, payment of the expenses may be claimed from the guarantor. The claim is enforceable by execution.
When a foreign national who has come by ship or aircraft, or who has been brought to the realm by a carrier engaged in the commercial land transport of persons, is rejected, the owner or hirer of the means of transport is obliged to take the foreign national on board again, to take the foreign national out of the realm by other means, or to cover any expenses incurred by the public authorities in escorting the foreign national out. A corresponding obligation applies to take aboard and cover expenses relating to personnel used to escort the foreign national out of the realm when the police deem this necessary. The responsibilities applicable to the owner or hirer of the means of transport under this paragraph apply equally to the driver of the means of transport and its agent in the realm.
The third paragraph applies correspondingly in the case of expulsion as a penal sanction imposed for violation of the provisions of the Act on entry and removal of a foreign national who is refused entry to the realm based on an administrative decision on expulsion which is still in effect.
Where a foreign national who needs a permit from the police under section 16, first paragraph, in order to go ashore in the realm has done so without such a permit, the provisions of the third paragraph apply correspondingly. In such cases, liability also includes any expenses incurred by the public authorities for up to three months in connection with the foreign national’s stay in the realm.
The provisions of the third and fifth paragraphs apply correspondingly to foreign nationals as mentioned in section 16, third paragraph, irrespective of whether the foreign national has received permission to go ashore in the realm.
If the expenses of escorting the foreign national out of the realm are not met under the first to fifth paragraphs, they shall be met by the State.
The liability under the third, fourth, fifth and sixth paragraphs does not apply to entry across an internal Schengen border.
The provision does not apply to foreign nationals who are transferred from Norway to another country under the Dublin III Regulation; see section 32, fourth paragraph.
