Who runs the Salvadoran Embassy?

Ambassador Kennedy Obed Reyes Lazo has headed the embassy since December 2025. Its accreditation extends beyond Austria to Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, Hungary, Serbia and Romania. According to the Austrian diplomatic list, the embassy has 7 diplomatic staff. El Salvador is also represented at the United Nations and other international organisations in Vienna through a separate permanent mission – a diplomatic office without services for citizens.

Which Salvadoran office is responsible for me?

The consular section in Vienna is responsible for Salvadoran citizens in all of Austria. One honorary consulate (Vienna) can help with information and some formalities, but passports are normally issued by the embassy.

Consular services

The consular section typically handles:

• Powers of attorney and other notarial acts
• Certificates for pensions and social security abroad

Ask the embassy about fees and processing times before you apply – they are not listed by the Austrian Foreign Ministry.
