Overview
The Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Oslo is the Kingdom's diplomatic mission to Norway, processing visa applications for Norwegian residents, providing consular services to Saudi nationals, and supporting the trade and cultural relationship between the two countries.
Visa Services
Norwegian residents applying to visit Saudi Arabia for tourism, business, family visits, or Umrah should note that most eligible nationalities can now obtain an eVisa online rather than applying in person at the embassy — this includes holders of a valid Schengen visa or residence, since Norway is part of the Schengen area, and extends more broadly to holders of a valid UK or US visa and to permanent residents of the US, EU or UK, with a visa on arrival available to the same travellers. Umrah can be performed year-round on the tourism e-visa, with the Umrah permit applied for online; Hajj needs a separate permit and only takes place in the Hajj season. Purpose-specific or long-term visas that require embassy processing are handled through the consular section, with requirements typically including a valid passport, passport photo, and purpose-specific supporting documents.
Consular Services
The embassy provides passport and travel document services, civil registration, document attestation and legalization, and emergency consular assistance for Saudi nationals in Norway.
Trade & Export Support
Norway and Saudi Arabia, both major oil-producing and energy-exporting nations, maintain a substantial trade relationship built on shared expertise in offshore engineering, maritime technology, and energy-sector know-how, supporting Saudi Vision 2030 energy-diversification projects. The embassy's economic section supports bilateral trade promotion and business matchmaking between Norwegian and Saudi companies.
