Consulate of Madagascar in New York

Consulates located in New York - In the United States a single Embassy of foreign (or guest) countries is not large enough to handle all the essential services countrywide provided by an Embassy. Hence, the need for smaller, regionally located branches, which are called Consulates, enabling local residents and guest country nationals diplomatic assistance at local level. A New York Consulate can be likened to branch offices or satellites of the foreign country's Embassies themselves, which, typically, are located in Washington DC. A New York Consulate would usually be headed by an ex-patriate national and frequently engaging local staff.

Assistance by a New York consulate - As well as firstly promoting the interests and image of the representing country, a New York Consulate would usually offer the majority of services provided by their parent Embassy in Washington, but at local levels for convenience, often giving more rapid service, such as in the provision of new and replacement passports, issuing of visas, together with all aspects of other general consular services available to New York citizens.
