Which Cabo Verdean office issues passports and visas?
Passports and other formal consular services for Cabo Verdean citizens are handled by the Cabo Verdean embassy responsible for Cyprus.
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 Cabo Verde and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Cabo Verdean 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.
