Location of the Consulate
The Gambian honorary consul in Bregenz (Feldkirch)

Passports and visas: who is responsible?
The Gambian Embassy in W8 5DG London is the place for passports and most consular matters; the honorary consul can advise but does not replace it.
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 the Gambia and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Gambian 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.
