About the honorary consulate in Bratislava
The honorary consulate represents Madagascar in Slovakia. The ministry’s list gives the office hours as Monday 10:00–14:00; Friday 10:00–15:00. To check before a visit, call +421 915 788 807 or e-mail pbpeterbrudnak@gmail.com.
The office is in the capital, Bratislava, about 8 km in a straight line from Bratislava Airport (M. R. Štefánik).
Citizens of Madagascar need a Schengen visa for short stays in Slovakia, as Madagascar is listed in Annex I of Regulation (EU) 2018/1806 (consolidated version of 30 December 2025); Slovakia applies the common Schengen visa list.
Which Malagasy office issues passports and visas?
Passports and other formal consular services for Malagasy citizens are handled by the Malagasy Embassy in Berlin (accredited to Slovakia).
Madagascar has no embassy in Slovakia. According to the Diplomatic List of the Slovak Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs (7 October 2026), the mission accredited to Slovakia is the Embassy of Madagascar in Berlin. It is headed by Hantavololona Ramahazosoa (Chargé d’Affaires a.i.).

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