Honestly the rudest humans I have ever came across. They will not answer phones. If the do they’re extremely rude. I got in emergency situations and instead of helping she got super defensive. They could really used some employees with basic manners

The new building is very nice after many years of waiting, however, the wait time is a little excessive. I went there only to pick up my ID and had to wait almost 40 minutes - I recommend having a section for expedited cases such as pick ups!

Can somebody answer on phone ? Useless phone number provided, why? Is anyone inside building working? We call for important information and never get answers to phone call! How can citizens get answers from consulting? No phone no email no

Nice and clean building. Staff are friendly. If you are here for Turkish ID or anything that requires biometric photograph, you have to do it outside. There is a place close to the consulate which they follow the photo requirements. That

  • Bulent Ilingi

Highly efficient, informative web site needs to be reviewed by customers before going to this office. It helps alot regarding preparation, required documents gathering. Making Online appointment cuts down the waiting time to nearly zero.

Absolutely ridiculous! They complicate everything. Half of the employees are barely doing any work. What’s the point of giving appointments if I have to wait for 2 hours? Seems like they got a bunch of people from Turkey who don’t know

  • Hilal Camera

The staff who work here, including the people who answer the phone, seem unprofessional in their job. Poor communication skills and need training in their jobs or should be replaced very soon.
