Consulates

Consulates are official offices maintained by a country in a foreign city, serving to assist their citizens abroad and promote diplomatic relations. They provide services such as issuing visas, passports, and travel information, as well as helping nationals in emergencies, like lost documents or legal issues. Unlike embassies, which are located in capital cities and handle high-level diplomacy, consulates focus on everyday consular services and fostering economic and cultural ties within specific regions. They act as a trusted link between their home country and residents or visitors in the host city.
