Which type of mission should you contact?

Not every mission offers the same services. The list below includes 10 embassys, 6 honorary consulates, 6 high commissions, 4 consulates and 3 consulate generals. 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 →
