Regional Visits by Consular Officers
The Embassy makes an effort to send consular officers to other cities in Norway, where they can provide limited services. Please see here for more information. 

When visiting the Embassy, please remember the following:

• Due to security procedures, you may need to wait outside for up to 30 minutes or more. Be sure to dress appropriately.
• The fewer items you bring to the Embassy the more quickly the security check-in goes for everyone. Storage of luggage, backpacks, suitcases, shopping bags, handbags or items over 28 x 19 x 14 cm (12" x 8" x 6") is not permitted at the Embassy, nor may you enter the Embassy with these items, so bring with you only what you need for your appointment.  No electronic devices are permitted inside the Embassy.
• Bring photo identification (valid passport or driver's license; we do NOT accept bank cards as identification)
• Appropriate fee (in cash, dollars or kroner, or by credit card: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Novus/Discover, Diners and Visa/MasterCard Purchasing cards. Use of credit card only available if applying at the Embassy. Signature of person signing credit card receipt must match signature of card bearer. In other words, if you are using someone else’s credit card, that person must be present to sign the credit card receipt.) See current exchange rate on the right.
