About the honorary consulate in Palma de Mallorca

Ansgar Heinrich Wolfgang Thüne 24/05/2022 holds the post.

For services the honorary consul cannot provide, the closest Brazilian career post is in Barcelona (around 205 km) (a flight or ferry away). The embassy in Madrid is roughly 550 km away.

Spanish citizens do not need a visa for short tourist stays in Brazil (up to 90 days). The passport should be valid for at least six months. The Spanish Foreign Ministry advises travelling to Brazil with caution. Details: Spanish travel advice (Recomendaciones de viaje).

Which Brazilian office issues passports and visas?

Passports and other formal consular services for Brazilian citizens are handled by the Brazilian consulate general in Barcelona or the embassy in Madrid.

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 Brazil and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Brazilian 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.
