About the honorary consulate in Dubrovnik
The embassy in Zagreb is roughly 390 km away.
Croatian citizens need a visa for Russia; a single-entry e-visa has been available since 1 August 2023; the EU–Russia visa facilitation agreement is suspended, according to the Croatian Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs. See the ministry’s visa overview for Russia (in Croatian).
Which Russian office issues passports and visas?
The Russian Embassy in Zagreb 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 Russia and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Russian 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.
