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 Netherlands and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Dutch 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.
When is the office closed?
Like most offices in Spain, the honorary consulate closes on public holidays as well as on the Dutch national day, 27 April. Regional holiday to note: Andalusia Day (28 February).
