    What's the difference between an embassy and a consulate? +
    An embassy is a country's main diplomatic mission abroad, usually in the capital, handling government relations plus citizen services.

    A consulate general is usually the senior consular post in a country (if there's no embassy) or a larger office in a major city, led by a Consul General. A standard consulate is typically smaller.
    What is an honorary consul? +
    An honorary consul is often a local resident — not necessarily a citizen of the country they represent — appointed to provide limited consular help in a city without a full consulate, usually on a part-time basis with a narrower range of services.
