Is your home country represented in Spain? And if it is not, do you find this is a problem?

We have just posted online a piece about the importance of diplomatic representation in your host country while living abroad. Do let us know whether you think it is absolutely essential and share your experience about diplomacy in Spain.

Have a great week,

I have dual British and Irish nationality.

Over many years trying to converse, ask questions etc from British consulates in a few countries, I have always felt they would prefer to answer any approach with, “ I am sorry we cannot help you.” And that is before I ask any question

On a couple of occasions when speaking to the Irish Consulate in spain, they have been helpful, we have spoken using first names and they have called me back

My wife is Filipino. Her consulate in Madrid are about 50/50. Sometime good amd others not so.
