Extension of repayment period
If you cannot repay your loan at once and the monthly amount of the payment plan is too high then you can submit an application to extend your repayment period. Extending the period will lower your monthly amount.
Up to 10 years
The duration of the period for which you can receive a payment plan depends on the amount of your student debt. See for more information Payment plan. If your repayment period is less than ten years then you can extend this to a maximum of ten years.
Please note! If you allow the repayment period to be extended, the interest will be calculated over a longer period. This ultimately makes the total amount of your student debt higher.
If your repayment period has been set at ten years then it is not possible to extend this period even further.
