About the honorary consulate in Barcelona
Javier Perez Farguell holds the post – recognised by Spain since January 2020. The Spanish list publishes no phone number or e-mail for this office; contact the Ethiopian Embassy in Paris (accredited to Spain) for help.
The office is located in the province of Barcelona, in Catalonia.
Spanish citizens need a visa for Ethiopia; it can be applied for online. The Spanish Foreign Ministry advises extreme caution in Ethiopia and warns against travel to certain areas. Details: Spanish travel advice (Recomendaciones de viaje).
Which Ethiopian office issues passports and visas?
Passports and other formal consular services for Ethiopian citizens are handled by the Ethiopian Embassy in Paris (accredited to Spain).
Note: Ethiopia has no embassy in Madrid; its embassy in Paris is accredited to Spain.
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 Ethiopia and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Ethiopian 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.
