Embassies and consulates represent the interests of one country in a different country, serving as the official diplomatic representation of a foreign government in a host country. Essentially it’s a small sanctuary in a foreign country, where you have access to the laws and rights of your home country.
Not only do embassies and consulates promote friendly relationships between countries in everything from diplomatic matters to trade and business, they also form a comprehensive partnership with their citizens living or traveling abroad, serving to provide assistance and support. You can ask for aid with legal issues, visas, and more.
