About the honorary consulate in Düsseldorf
Honorary consul Dr. Rolf Herpens represents the Seychelles in North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland. Office hours are Tuesday and Thursday mornings.
Where do I apply for a passport or visa?
Passports and formal matters go to the Seychelles High Commission in London. Visitors need an online travel authorisation before flying to the Seychelles.
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 Seychelles and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Seychellois 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.
