WHAT WE DO
The Nevada Consular Corps serves as a conduit between the State of Nevada and the global community it represents. As such, the NVCC is an integral and essential part of Nevada society and represents the state’s global footprint.
Honorary consuls are extremely valuable to both the country they represent and the host country. They augment their countries’ core diplomatic network while facilitating the exchange of ideas and initiatives. As such, they engage with political bodies, commercial organizations, cultural entities, and trade groups – and, by doing so, bridge the distance between their own district/state and the country they represent.
NVCC members also are the first point of contact between their respective expat communities and the home country. Honorary consuls may be able to assist with individual applications for (travel) documents and legal representations or registries. More complex matters may be referred to the consulate general – staffed by career diplomats – under whose jurisdiction they fall.
Honorary consuls tend to the wellbeing of their nationals and support numerous cultural exchange missions and programs related to their country. They are, in many senses, the face of their nation.
Businesses interested in trade and/or investment either in Nevada or in countries represented by the NVCC are urged to contact our members who may be able to provide relevant information and provide introductions to regulatory bodies and/or development promotion agencies.
