Location of the Consulate
Which Monégasque office issues passports and visas?
Passports and other formal consular services for Monégasque citizens are handled by the Monégasque embassy responsible for Latvia.
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 Monaco and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Monégasque 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.
Closing days
The honorary consulate is normally closed on the public holidays observed in Latvia – New Year’s Day (1 January), Good Friday, Easter Monday, Labour Day (1 May), Restoration of Independence Day (4 May), Līgo Day and Midsummer Day (23 and 24 June), Proclamation Day of the Republic of Latvia (18 November), Christmas Eve, Christmas (25 and 26 December) and New Year’s Eve (31 December). When 4 May or 18 November falls on a weekend, the following Monday is a day off; Easter follows the Western calendar.
