Location of the Consulate
The Guinean honorary consul in Salzburg
The honorary consulate – led by Matthias Scheiblberger since 2015 – covers Salzburg, Tyrol, Vorarlberg and Carinthia. Call or e-mail before you go – there are no regular office hours.
Passports and visas: who is responsible?
The Guinean Embassy in Geneva 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 Guinea and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help 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.
