Which Gabonese office handles passports and visas?
For passports, visas and other formal consular services, contact the Embassy of Gabon in Brasília. The honorary consulate can help with first steps and pass on documents, but it does not replace the embassy’s consular section.
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 Gabon and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Gabonese 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.
