About the Honorary Consulate of Estonia in Miami

The honorary consul is Jorge L. Viera, according to the Estonian foreign ministry. The honorary consulate’s consular district covers the Florida counties of Charlotte, Glades, St. Lucie, Martin, Lee, Hendry, Palm Beach, Collier, Broward, Monroe and Miami-Dade.

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