All important information has been made available on the website. However you may contact the Consulate by telephone or fax for seeking any additional information you need.
| Note: | (1) | Applicants are advised not to unnecessarily keep contacting/reminding the Consulate about the status of their applications since these are dealt with on “first come first served” basis and after appropriate verifications where necessary, unless there are genuine and exceptional circumstances to warrant “out of turn” consideration. |
| (2) | We would also appreciate if telephonic queries about status of consular/passport/visa applications are made only between 2.30 PM and 5.00 PM. Queries outside these hours will not be entertained. |
