Location of the Consulate
The Gambian honorary consul in Stuttgart
Honorary consul Prof. Dr. Georg Bouché represents The Gambia in Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria. Meetings are by appointment.
Passports and visas: who is responsible?
Formal consular services are provided by the Gambian Embassy in Brussels. An honorary consul in Bremen covers the state of Bremen.
What can an honorary consul do?
An honorary consul is not a career diplomat but a local resident – often a business person or lawyer – appointed by the Gambia and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Gambian citizens in an emergency (lost passport, accident, arrest), pass on applications and documents to the embassy, and certify signatures or life certificates. Passports and visas are not issued by an honorary consulate; they remain the responsibility of the embassy or a career consulate.
