What’s the Difference between an Indonesian Embassy and an Indonesian Consulate?
From the perspective of the regular traveller to Bali or any other place in Indonesia, when you seek assistance, there is usually no difference for you whether you approach an Indonesian embassy or consulate for your visa applications. Both embassies and consulates are representative departments of Indonesia but located outside of Indonesia.
The main difference is, the Embassy is a representation with an “Ambassador”. Because there is only one Indonesian Ambassador for a specific country, there usually also only one Embassy in one country – provided Indonesia and the other country have such diplomatic ties. Meaning, not every country has an Indonesian Embassy, but it could have an Indonesian consulate, providing similar services. Because, the Indonesian Ambassador is the highest-ranking official representing Indonesia, an Indonesian Embassy is therefore also regarded as to be “higher” than a consulate.
