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 Spain and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Spanish 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
Honorary consuls set their own office hours; the honorary vice-consulate is usually closed on public holidays in Paraguay and may also close on public holidays of Spain.
Emergency assistance
In Paraguay, dial 911 for the police, 141 for an ambulance and 132 for the fire brigade (GOV.UK travel advice). Paraguayan citizens who need consular help in Spain can contact the Embassy of Paraguay in Madrid.
