Consulate

A consulate is a government office located in a foreign country that provides services to its citizens living or traveling there. It helps with things like issuing visas, assisting with legal issues, and offering support during emergencies. Unlike an embassy, which represents a government and handles broader relations between countries, a consulate focuses on local assistance and community needs. Consulates can be found in major cities and serve as a point of contact for citizens, promoting trade, culture, and friendly relations between the two nations.
