There are four types of consuls:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>General Consul<\/li><li>The Honorary Consul<\/li><li>The Deputy Consul<\/li><li>The Consular Agent<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The difference in relation to the embassy is that the consulate does political activity International.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Let&#8217;s see in detail what a consulate is and how it works and which services it offers to the citizens of the country it represents abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How the consulate general works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we said, a consulate general has administrative functions, but also, to protect the citizens of your country in case your rights are violated abroad or their freedom is limited or private in the state in which they are the consulate general is based.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>In addition, in an emergency, it guarantees assistance in finding family members, in succession procedures abroad and in repatriation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Say, more &#8220;peaceful&#8221; conditions, the normal functioning of a general consulate consists of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>training, transcription and issuance of civil status documents;<\/li><li>publication and celebration of weddings;<\/li><li>issuing and renewing passports;<\/li><li>issuing entry visas;<\/li><li>issuing and renewing identity cards (although not all consulates do);<\/li><li>acts of citizenship and military service;<\/li><li>deeds, wills, signed authentications, translations, legalizations and customs certifications related to repatriation;<\/li><li>acts related to the electoral service; pension practices; social assistance, cash benefits, pharmaceutical and health assistance for compatriots in need.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In case of absence of the consul general, the administration passes to the hands of the vice consul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What the honorary consulate is and how it works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike the consulate general, the honorary consulate is a representative office administered by citizen of the host state, called an honorary or elected consul, who operates at the request of the country in question after receiving an authorization called exequatur (translated &#8220;Christian&#8221;: act with which a state accepts and recognizes a foreign consul, admitting that he performs his duties in the state&#8217;s territory, enjoys the immunities and prerogatives that belong to him and carries out a productive activity with legal effects in the ordination of the state itself).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, for example, a Brazilian honorary consul in Argentina will be a<br>Argentine invested in that position (that is, with an exequatur).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The functions are bureaucratic, but not under international law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It must guarantee citizens the protection of their interests, following the principles of equality, impartiality, efficiency and transparency, with respect to fundamental rights and personal freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It intervenes, for example, in cases of death, accident, serious illness, arrest or detention, acts of violence, assistance in the event of serious crises (natural disasters, civil unrest, armed conflicts etc.), issuing travel documents emergency cause loss or theft of passport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can perform the functions of an embassy if a state does not have that kind of diplomatic representation in that country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Information  from the American consulate in SP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Schedules<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Monday 7:30 &#8211; 16:30<br>Tuesday 7:30 &#8211; 16:30<br>Wednesday 7:30 &#8211; 16:30<br>Thursday 7:30 &#8211; 16:30<br>Friday 7:30 &#8211; 16:30<br><strong>Saturday Closed<br>Sunday Closed<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In the United States, obtaining a visa, of all <a href=\"http:\/\/redconsultingus.com\/blog\/en\/types-of-american-visa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">types of visas<\/a>, is a privilege, not a right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out where to start on American visas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Vistos Americanos   Por onde devo comec\u0327ar?
