Honorary representations

The honorary consulates support the Swiss representations in safeguarding Switzerland’s interests and in emergencies involving Swiss citizens abroad. In an emergency the representation responsible (embassy or consulate-general) must be contacted immediately.

Please note that honorary representations do not have consular authority and therefore can not issue visas and Swiss passports nor act as a notary or handle civil status events.

Services and visa

All consular services and visa support for people resident in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay are provided by the Regional Consular Centre South America Buenos Aires. Information can be found on the websites concerned:
