What type of Consular Representation is the Portugal's Honorary Consulate in Vilnius?

Honorary Consulate - An Honorary Consul, who may or may not be Portuguese, isn't a diplomat, but is a local resident appointed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Their role is to uphold and advocate for the Portuguese State's rights and interests in the absence of an official representative. Honorary Consulates generally aren't authorized to execute consular acts, but in rare and justified cases, they can perform voter registration, civil registration, notary acts, and issue travel documents, under the attached Mission Head's guidance.

I am so glad I found AnchorLess. Getting a NIF as a non-resident can be a headache and takes a lot of time, AnchorLess made it super simple. Highly recommended, worth the money.
