Embassies and Consulates in Burundi: An Overview

Burundi is host to 22 foreign diplomatic missions sent by 22 countries. The largest concentration is in Bujumbura, with 22 missions, while the capital, Gitega, hosts the remainder of the embassy community.

Which type of mission should you contact?

Not every mission offers the same services. The list below includes 15 embassys, 3 consulate generals, 3 honorary consulates and 1 consulate. An embassy is the main mission and normally sits in the capital; a consulate general or consulate handles visas and passport work for its own region; an honorary consulate offers limited help and usually cannot issue visas. If you are unsure which one to approach, our guide to embassies and consulates explains the difference in plain language. Read the guide →

Burundi's own missions abroad

Burundi maintains its own network of 36 embassies and consulates in 31 countries across 5 continents. If you are a Burundi citizen travelling or living overseas, these are the offices that renew your passport, register a birth abroad and assist in an emergency.
