Reviews
"Highly not recommended they are unreliable There contact number is not working and can't through The worst service ever They are so rude and won't do anything to help out When trying to book for an appointment after 1min the schedule is out it says no more appointments"
"Loved the service. They have been quick and responsive to my queries and concerns considering the heavy flow of traffic :)"
"One of the worst diplomatic service in the World we have experienced. As a French citizen, I have been trying to contact the consular service on the main number listed 03 384 2555 for months and at least several times daily and 3 to 4 times a week. Understanding that French people only work 35 hours/ week is one thing but if you are lucky enough to call during working hours of the morning, either you get a disconnected tone, or the line hang up as soon as you get a tone, or the phone simply does not answer at all. In the best case scenario, you will get an answering message, but you cannot actually leave a message. Your option is to call the emergency mobile number but they would not be happy if this is not an actual emergency."
"Had a wonderful experience with the embassy attache and their security. They were extremely delightful and accommodating, our family felt very welcome and at ease with the entire process. Merci beaucoup!"
