Yes, absolutely.  For example, the Turkmen ambassador in Brussels is accredited to both Belgium and the European Union. It's not hypothetical at all, but rather very much real life. On 11/12/2018 1:51 AM, Graeme Fitzpatrick wrote: > > > On Sun, 11 Nov 2018 at 21:42, Allan Mustard

Just a suggestion. Under the "Additional tags routinely used would include" section, name=* and country=* are listed. I think the target=* tag (for the receiving country) should also be included since it is already documented in the amenity=embassy page. (I am not sure if "target" is a good term

Office=visa_application would handle that. Or office=company, company=visa_application. Such offices are not diplomatic facilities, but rather are commercial (they are contractors). Thus they don’t fit under office=diplomatic anyway and don’t fall under the scope of this proposal. That said,
