Royal Norwegian Embassy in Rome

Embassy of Norway in Rome, Italy

Overview

The Royal Norwegian Embassy sits on the Aventine hill, at Via delle Terme Deciane 7 — a quiet address above the Circus Maximus, about as scenic as Roman diplomacy gets. Norway and Italy trade energy for design and food culture, share NATO membership, and exchange one of Europe's steadier tourist flows: Italians north for the fjords and northern lights, Norwegians south for everything the Mediterranean does better. The embassy runs the appointment-first model Norwegian posts use worldwide — and the house rhythm Norwegians will recognise from other missions: the consular phone goes unanswered on Wednesdays.

Visa Services

Italian and other EU citizens need no visa for Norway — it applies Schengen rules, and a national ID card suffices. Non-EU nationals resident in Italy follow the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration's application routes; the embassy handles the Italian intake by appointment.

Consular Services

Norwegian nationals in Italy use the embassy for passports, registrations, and emergencies — by appointment. The consular phone answers Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, 10:30-13:00, and not at all on Wednesdays; the standing mailbox is emb.rome@mfa.no.

Service Area

The embassy represents the Kingdom of Norway in Italy.

Appointment Information

Visits run by appointment only. The switchboard +39 06 45 23 81 00 answers Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday 09:00-15:00 and Wednesday 09:00-13:00 — but the consular line keeps its own narrower window: 10:30-13:00 on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, closed Wednesdays. Written enquiries go to emb.rome@mfa.no.

Special Notes

Wednesday is the consular quiet day — the switchboard still answers until 13:00, but consular phone service skips the day entirely. Plan calls for the other four weekday late mornings, 10:30-13:00.
Frequently asked questions

No — Norway applies Schengen rules, so Italian citizens enter on a national ID card with no visa, for tourism and work alike under the free-movement framework. Application questions only arise for non-EU residents of Italy, via the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration's routes.

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 10:30 to 13:00 — and never on Wednesdays, when consular phone service skips the day. The general switchboard +39 06 45 23 81 00 runs longer hours; written enquiries go to emb.rome@mfa.no.

Every visit runs on a booked appointment — there is no walk-in counter at Via delle Terme Deciane 7. Book through the embassy's channels and use emb.rome@mfa.no for the paperwork questions ahead of the visit.
