Important Security Announcement
Please do not bring mobile phones or any electronic devices, such as Blackberries, iPods, or PDAs as they are not allowed within the Embassy. We also strongly advise that you do not bring large bags, such as backpacks, suitcases or packages to the interview as there are no storage facilities on Embassy grounds. Click on the following PDF file for a list of Left Luggage storage facilities.
Only person(s) seeking consular services will be admitted into the Embassy. Exceptions will be made only if those seeking consular services are under 18, or if they are disabled and require assistance. Local authorities will not permit anyone to wait outside the Embassy, so please do not bring anyone else with you.
Applicants who do not follow these instructions will experience considerable delays at the security check point which could result in the interview being cancelled.
