The Embassy Consular Conference aims to help consuls help their citizens. It examines the challenges facing consular, visa, passport, welfare, immigration, legal and police liaison officers and explores ways to meet these challenges. Now in its eighth year, attracting more than 120 consuls from 70+ missions, the conference is a chance to understand policy and procedure and share best practice with fellow consuls and experts.
The conference will conclude with a keynote address from the Director of Consular Affairs at the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and the presentation of the Consul of the Year Award for 2023, recognising the exemplary work of consuls in serving their citizens.
