About the honorary consulate in Tórshavn

The office is in the Faroe Islands – an autonomous territory of the Danish Realm – and is the nearest Portuguese contact point for the islands.

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.
