About the honorary consulate in Monaco
The honorary consulate general represents Palau in Monaco. According to the Monegasque government’s country page, it is headed by George Victor Malek (honorary consul general). No opening hours are published; arrange a visit in advance. To do so, call +377 93 30 60 90 or e-mail george@palaos.org.
The office is in the Jardin Exotique district, less than 1 km in a straight line from the Prince’s Palace in Monaco-Ville and about 18 km from Nice Côte d’Azur Airport, the nearest airport.
Monaco is not part of the Schengen area, but visitors need the same documents as for entering France, according to Monaco’s public service portal. Citizens of Palau need no visa for short stays in the Schengen area (up to 90 days in any 180-day period, Annex II of Regulation (EU) 2018/1806), so they can visit Monaco without one.
Which Palauan office issues passports and visas?
For passports and other formal consular services, Palauan citizens should ask the honorary consulate which Palauan mission is responsible.
Palau has no embassy in Monaco, and the Monegasque government’s country page names no Palauan embassy accredited to Monaco; contact the honorary consulate for directions.
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 Palau and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Palauan 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.
