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 Portugal and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Portuguese 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.
Holidays and closures
Expect the honorary consulate to be closed on Spanish national holidays; Portuguese celebrations on 10 June (national day) usually mean a closure too. Regional holiday in Extremadura: Extremadura Day (8 September).
