Le Livre Du Corps Diplomatique: "How To Become an Honorary Consul General"

An honorary diplomat is normally appointed by countries who cannot afford or do not wish to spend the substantial amounts required to set up an office… Appointing an honorary consul saves them the cost of supporting a staff and sending out their own citizens as full-time diplomatic representatives abroad. The work of an honorary consul is exactly the same as that of a career diplomat of the same rank. Typically, this work involves issuing or renewing visas and passports, helping businessmen and tourists with problems, promoting commerce and cultural exchanges, and above all, showing the flag by going to and giving parties. Of course, the honorary consul is expected to put in only a few unpaid hours of non-social business per week. Wining, dining and dancing are themajor activities. Smiling and being diplomatic is the major chores.An honorary consul general may serve his sending country in a major city or his jurisdiction may cover a substantial territory. He, or she, may have within this jurisdiction, lower ranking honorary consuls, vice-consuls, and Diplomatic Agents. A consul looks after a smaller city or town.The highest ranking foreign diplomat in a receiving country is an ambassador, who normally serves only in a national capital. Honorary Ambassadors are very rare. But less rare is the situation where a citizen of the receiving country is naturalized as a citizen of the sending country, and then returns to his own country (possibly as a dual-citizen) being appointed ambassador or consul general (not honorary).However, we will not get bogged down in such interesting possibilities on our first pages. The important thing to remember is that most countries appoint honorary consuls. Want to live the high life of a diplomat? Would you like social recognition, great parties, big-money contracts, preferential treatment? This truly unique book by W.G. Hill explores the exotic world of securing an appointment as an Honorary Consul. Many countries cannot afford to maintain all the consular representation they would like and can be persuaded to appoint Honorary Consuls instead. YOU would represent them in your own country, presumably for mutual benefit. Your appointment then becomes your key to a vastly expanded world of social and economic advantages and new opportunities. You will, of course, be expected to act diplomatically, smile a lot, and add that special touch of “class” to the many social functions you will attend. Hill himself served a number of years as an Honorary Consul, gaining the insights he shares in this limited-edition book. He details everything you need to know to secure your own appointment: Advantages/disadvantages; Diplomatic Immunity; Securing Appointment; Etiquette and Protocol; Diplomatic Passport; Choosing the right country to represent. He also illustrates sample letters, documents, and forms to use, as well as the addresses of countries to contact. Don’t pass up this “chance of a lifetime” without reading Hill’s book first. The many advantages and opportunities of becoming an Honorary Consul could change your life forever. Click “Buy Now” and Start The First Day Of Your New Life as an Honorary Consul General Today!
