The Seychelles High Commission in London handles passports; the honorary consul gives general advice on travel and investment.
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.
