An embassy is the primary diplomatic mission located in a foreign capital, handling high-level political, economic, and security relations, while a consulate is a smaller, regional office located in major cities focused on assisting citizens (passports, emergencies) and issuing visas. There is only one embassy, but multiple consulates can exist in a country.
