Norwegian Embassy Program

Monthly, the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs selects candidates for the job of ambassador. The program focuses on Norwegian citizens that want to get an oportunity of contributing with the country and acquiring some experience. Almost all the great politicians we have in the country were, at least once, ambassadors.

The eWorld is a big place with alot of changes happening in countries and goverments every day. The MoFA is not able to keep track of all the changes, and this is where the MoFA needs your help.

To be an ambassador mean you have to get involved within another countries' Politics and keep an open eye on events that can be of interest for Norway. The Norwegian goverment would like you to report when required, with updated information about the country in question. To facilitate this, the MoFA has created a form for reports from our ambassadors. We believe this will make it easier for our ambassadors to submit their information and at the same time the MoFA will be able to collect all the information in one place.

In the form you will be asked to fill out information about:
Military Situation
Elections and politics
Economic changes
...and more

More about ambassador's job you can find here.



Requirements for candidates are:
-Good communication skills
-Level 20 or above
-Good manners
-Be active, loyal and hardworking
-Good references (in case of foreign applier)

You can apply as an ambassador filling this form.

NOTE: The deadline for application is on November 9th. If you still aren't sure if you want to be ambassador or you just want more information, please comment below or send a message to Per Jostein or to the Norwegian Consulate.

About the countries that the Ministry is interested on assigning ambassadors, they are EDEN and Asgard countries, with some few exceptions.

Each ambassador receives a sallary per report (150 NOK) and also can get a reward as ambassador of the week or of the month. The awards will still be defined according to the budget of the Ministry.
