Both countries work closely within NATO and on European and international issues. Although Norway is not a member of the European Union, it participates extensively in the European single market through the European Economic Area.

German citizens likewise do not need a visa to travel to Norway. As citizens of an EU and EEA member state respectively, Germans can enter Norway and benefit from EEA free-movement rules for residence, employment and study, subject to the applicable registration requirements.

Norway additionally maintains Honorary Consuls in Bremen, Frankfurt am Main, Hamburg, Hannover, Kiel, Leipzig, Lübeck, Munich, Rostock and Stuttgart.
These honorary representations have regional consular districts and provide a more limited range of services than the Embassy in Berlin.
