About the honorary consulate in Stockholm
Planning a trip to the Gambia? The Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs does not publish other countries’ visa rules, so check the entry requirements with the Gambian authorities; country-specific advice is available in the travel information of the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs (Sweden Abroad, in Swedish).
Which Gambian office issues passports and visas?
The Gambian Embassy in London (accredited to Sweden) is the place for passports and most consular matters; the honorary consul general can advise but does not replace it.

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.
