Consulates

The consulate is a representation of a country’s administration in a foreign state. Its actions concern not only its own citizens and nationals, but also residents or those transiting the country.

The main functions of a consulate are:

§  the establishment of official documents and their renewal

§  managing the civil state

§  informing its citizens

§  assistance and financial aid for nationals according to and depending on their situation

§  support for citizens who are arrested or in gaol
