• In an effort to make the entranceway for non-immigrant visa applicants more efficient, please, do not arrive more than 15 minutes before your appointment.
Also be aware that only the Non-Immigrant applicants who come with the applications forms completed on line and with the original receipt of payment from Banco de Santander Central Hispano (BSCH) will be granted entry into the Consular Section.
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.

• Limits on personal items:
Recent worldwide terrorism events have created the necessity for restricting luggage, back packs, or carry bags being brought into the Embassy Consular Section. Please DO NOT attempt to bring these items inside. The guard has been instructed to prevent access of any luggage or carry bags or packs unless there is a clearly demonstrated emergency or medical need that is authorized by the Consular Officer or the Regional Security Officer.
