Main consular services
For Vietnamese citizens living, studying or working in Norway:
- Issuing and renewing ordinary passports; travel documents for returning home after a passport is lost.
- Civil status: birth registration for children born abroad, marriage, death, recording civil-status events.
- Nationality matters: confirmation, renunciation or restoration of Vietnamese nationality.
- Consular certification and legalisation; attestation of signatures and copies.
- Citizen protection in case of accidents, arrest, lost documents or disasters.
For foreigners: most travellers now apply for an e-visa on the official portal evisa.gov.vn without visiting the embassy. Visas stamped at the mission are mainly for diplomatic or official passports, or for applicants holding an approval letter from the Vietnam Immigration Department that names the embassy in Oslo as the pick-up point.
Do Norwegians need a visa for Vietnam?
Under Government Resolution 44/NQ-CP, citizens of Norway are exempt from a Vietnam visa for up to 45 days regardless of passport type or purpose of entry, valid from 15/3/2025 to 14/3/2028. Check the current conditions on our Vietnam visa exemption countries page.
For stays over 45 days, or multiple entries, Norwegians can apply for an e-visa valid for up to 90 days, single or multiple entry (government fee USD 25 / USD 50). Step-by-step help: Vietnam e-visa application guide.
Legalising documents from Norway for use in Vietnam
Degrees, criminal record certificates (needed for work permits), certificates of no impediment to marriage and birth certificates issued in Norway must be authenticated before Vietnamese authorities accept them. Vietnam has joined the Apostille Convention (in force for Vietnam since 11 September 2026); according to the HCCH status table, Norway is a party and is not listed as objecting. The usual route is therefore:
- Obtain an apostille from the competent Norwegian authority (usually the Statsforvalteren – County Governor).
- Have the document translated into Vietnamese and the translation notarised in Vietnam.
- Submit it to the receiving authority.
Consular legalisation through the Embassy of Vietnam in Oslo remains the fallback when the receiving authority asks for it or the document falls outside the apostille scope. Check with the receiving office first. In the other direction, Vietnamese documents for use in Norway are apostilled by the Consular Department (Hanoi) or the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Foreign Affairs.
Info Travel handles consular legalisation, notarised translation and work permit files for Norwegians working in Vietnam.

FAQ
What are the embassy’s opening hours?
The MOFA portal does not list opening hours. Check the official website or call +47 22 20 33 00 before you go.
Do I need an appointment?
MOFA does not publish a general rule. Contact the embassy by phone or email beforehand to confirm the documents to bring and reception times.
Should I apply for a visa at the embassy or online?
For trips of up to 45 days, Norwegians usually need no visa. If you do need one, the online e-visa is the fastest route; visit the embassy only with a diplomatic or official passport or an approval letter naming it as the pick-up point.
