The schemes in full
Around 10 million kroner a year goes into making the move worth it. These are the main schemes — each link goes to the municipality for the full terms.
Housing grant
A one-off 200,000 kr toward buying, building or renovating your own home — for first-time establishers under 50 who settle in Bremanger. It is paid as a grant secured against the home and written down 20% a year: stay five years and it is fully yours; move sooner and you repay only the part not yet written down.
Student-debt write-off
A national Lånekassen scheme for less-central municipalities — and Bremanger qualifies. Live here and be in work and the state writes off 25,000 kr of your Lånekassen student loan each year — up to 125,000 kr over five years. There is no citizenship requirement, but it only covers debt held with Lånekassen: private bank loans or foreign student loans are not included, and only the loan itself, not interest or fees.
Bonus for new municipal staff
A start package for new permanent municipal hires who register as residents: 30,000 kr a year for up to five years — 150,000 kr in all. It assumes a full-time post (pro-rated for part-time), and teachers, nurses and social educators can qualify for even more.
Kindergarten
Since August 2024 a place in any municipal kindergarten is free — and there is no waiting list. The only thing you pay is for the food. A secure start for the little ones, and more breathing room in your week.
Leisure card for the kids
Every child and young person aged 6 to 18 gets a 2,200 kr leisure card each year. It simply makes it easy to join in — sport, the music school and other activities — whatever they want to try.
Health staffing pool
Bremanger needs health workers — and through the staffing pool you do not have to move to help. You get a flexible rota, a travel grant and housing from 100 kr a night while you work here, with varied shifts and good rest between them in a landscape you will not forget. (You are very welcome to stay, of course.)
