About the honorary consulate in Madrid
The Spanish list publishes no phone number or e-mail for this office; contact the Central African Embassy in Paris (accredited to Spain) for help.
Spanish citizens need a visa for the Central African Republic, to be obtained before travelling. The passport should be valid for at least six months. The Spanish Foreign Ministry advises against all travel to the Central African Republic. Details: Spanish travel advice (Recomendaciones de viaje).
Which Central African office issues passports and visas?
An honorary consul cannot issue passports or visas; these are handled by the Central African Embassy in Paris (accredited to Spain).
Note: The Central African Republic has no embassy in Madrid; its embassy in Paris is accredited to Spain.
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 Central African Republic and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Central African 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.
