What exactly do consulates do?\nConsular sections of embassies and consulates issue visas and undertake passport, documentation and maritime services for citizens of their countries and masters of their countries' vessels. Consulates are either branches of embassies or freestanding offices of a foreign government's Foreign Ministry (almost always) outside the host country's capital city.\n\nHow are they different from embassies?\nThey are either a branch of the embassy, or a freestanding diplomatic mission outside the capital city. They do similar work: political, economic and commercial reporting as well as consular services as above.\n\nWhat are the qualifications needed to become a consul?\nUnderstanding of foreign affairs, knowledge of foreign language(s). No particular academic qualification, but nearly all have a college degree. \n\nHow the U.S. federal, state, and local government interacts with consulates?\nConsulates (like embassies) are offices abroad of the Foreign Ministry (the U.S. Department of State). They cooperate with subsovereign (state and local) governments when asked, and some states (and the Port Authority of NY & NJ) have offices abroad that work with embassies/consulates on matters of common interest, especially commercial promotion.\n\nHow does a goverment decide where and when to locate a consulate in a foreign country?\nIn some cases it's because there is a large expatriate community; or because the city is important commercially. It's a matter for the sending country with the consent of the receiving (host) country.\n\nHow long can a person be a consul?\nAn entire career of 20-35 years. But a consul (or consul general) as the head of a consular mission probably doesn't do much "consular work" and in a next posting, or in Washington (or whatever capital city his/her home is), would not be called a "consul".\n\nHow do you become a consul? (Election, most qualified, etc.)\nIn the USA by appointment by the Dept. of State. Almost always after becoming a foreign service officer by passing an exam.\n\nWho oversees the consulates?\nThe ambassador of a country usually has overall control; but some consulates are directed directly from the Foreign Ministry.\n\nHow are consulates funded?\nBy the Foreign Ministry (State Dept.) budget; except that some specialized offices within a consulate are funded by other ministries (government departments)
