Consular services are assistance provided by a country's diplomatic missions, such as embassies and consulates, to its citizens abroad. These services include issuing passports, helping with visa applications, and providing support in emergencies, such as lost passports or legal issues. Additionally, consular services offer information about local laws, customs, and travel safety. They also assist in cases of illness, arrest, or death of a citizen in a foreign country, ensuring that individuals receive the necessary help and guidance during difficult situations.
