About the honorary consulate in Plovdiv
Bulgarian citizens need a visa for Equatorial Guinea, to be obtained before travelling, according to the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Source: Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs – visas for Bulgarian citizens (in Bulgarian).
Which Equatorial Guinean office issues passports and visas?
An honorary consul cannot issue passports or visas; these are handled by the Equatorial Guinean embassy responsible for Bulgaria.
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 Equatorial Guinea and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Equatorial Guinean 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.
