Which Bosnian office issues passports and visas?
Passports and other formal consular services for Bosnian citizens are handled by the Bosnian Embassy in Prague (accredited to Slovakia).
Bosnia and Herzegovina has no embassy in Slovakia. According to the Diplomatic List of the Slovak Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs (7 October 2026), the mission accredited to Slovakia is the Embassy of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Prague. It is headed by Martina Mlinarević (ambassador, credentials presented on 2 December 2020).

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 Bosnia and Herzegovina and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Bosnian 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.
