The Honorary Consulate of the Republic of the Congo in Munich serves as a regional consular office for the Republic of Congo (capital: Brazzaville) in Bavaria. Located in Munich's city center on Ludwigstraße, this honorary consulate operates under the oversight of the Republic of Congo Embassy in Berlin. As a consular office rather than a full embassy, it provides limited services and primarily serves as a local contact point for Congolese nationals in southern Germany. The consulate operates by appointment only, and individuals requiring comprehensive consular services should contact the main embassy in Berlin.
