vice-consuls

Assistant consular officers

Vice-consuls are officials who assist or deputize for consuls in foreign posts.

A consul represents their government's commercial and civic interests in a foreign city, helping citizens abroad with passports, visas, and legal matters, while a vice-consul serves in a subordinate capacity or takes over when the consul is unavailable.

The role typically involves routine administrative work at consulates rather than the higher-level diplomatic functions handled by ambassadors.
