Country overview

Norway remains one of Europe's most stable and low-risk operating environments, with the U.S. Department of State maintaining a Level 1 (Exercise Normal Precautions) advisory as of July 2026. Overall crime is low and violent political incidents are extremely rare.

The principal security concerns are terrorism from extreme Islamist and right-wing extremist actors, heightened threats against Jewish and Israeli targets linked to Iran-connected actors, and state-sponsored cyber and espionage activity by Russia and China.

A March 2026 improvised explosive device incident at the U.S. Embassy in Oslo prompted expanded PST threat assessments and increased static patrols, though authorities do not assess an elevated threat to the broader American community.
