The Swedish honorary consul in Salzburg
Since 2024, Martina Schlegel Lanz has looked after Swedish interests in Salzburg. Under its official powers, it can pass on new passports and driving licences, take applications for certificates of no impediment to marriage and for name registrations, confirm that pensioners are alive (life certificates) and receive death certificates. Passports and visas themselves are issued elsewhere. Visitors are received Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 12:00. An emergency number is available: +43 217 53 - 0.
Passports and visas: who is responsible?
Good to know: Austrian citizens need no visa for Sweden and can travel with a passport or an identity card. Formal consular services – passports, certificates and visas – are provided by the consular section of the Swedish Embassy in Vienna.

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 Sweden and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Swedish 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.
