About the embassy
The Norwegian Embassy in Riga was opened on November 27, 1991 by the Ambassador, who presented his credentials to the President that day. The embassy employs two diplomats, an intern and five local staff. The defense record in Stockholm is accredited in Latvia.
What can the embassy help?
- issue an emergency pass on the way back;
- issue a new passport;
- Notary / apostille (certification of signatures, certification of copies, etc.);
- Contact family and friends to ask them to help you with money and tickets;
- advice on the transfer of money from Norway;
- give an advice and guidance on medical services, hospitals, etc.;
- help with legal assistance.
All Norwegian citizens can ask for help, and refugees or stateless persons living in Norway can count on the same assistance as Norwegian citizens, in most cases during temporary residence abroad. Norwegian citizens permanently residing abroad cannot count on the same assistance as those who were supposed to receive Norwegian citizens with a permanent residence permit in Norway. If you have dual citizenship and you travel to another country, you may risk that the authorities of another country do not recognize Norwegian citizenship. In such cases, the Norwegian authorities will not be able to assist.
