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 Panama and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Panamanian 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.
Other consulates and embassies in Girona
6 other countries are represented in Girona: France (honorary), Gambia (honorary), Honduras Vice (consulate), Italy Vice (honorary), Morocco (consulate general), Ukraine (honorary).
When is the office closed?
Like most offices in Spain, the honorary consulate closes on public holidays; Panamanian celebrations on 3 November (national day) usually mean a closure too. In Catalonia, the National Day of Catalonia (La Diada) on 11 September is a regional holiday.
