Which Colombian office issues passports and visas?

Passports and other formal consular services for Colombian citizens are handled by the Colombian Embassy in Brussels (accredited to Luxembourg).

Colombia has no embassy in Luxembourg. According to the directory of the diplomatic corps published by the Luxembourg Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs (October 2026), the mission accredited to Luxembourg is the Embassy of Colombia in Brussels. It is headed by Nohra Maria Quintero Correa (Chargé d’Affaires a.i.).

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

A holiday that falls on a weekend is not moved; employees get a compensatory day off instead, so some offices close on a replacement day.
