Embassy services:residence permit registration, short-term visa registration, long-term visa registration, replacing old long-term visa in the new passport, notary, documents delivery
There are a lot of negative reviews, I will dilute them.
I was there two times: I got up for consular registration and made a power of attorney.
Both visits are in the 4th window, Olga Torshina sitting there is just a miracle, everything is clear, on business, friendly, goes to a meeting, sent some missing documents to the post office.
As for waiting for an appointment, there are no questions here, it's really a long time to wait for free slots, but then there is no jostling in the consulate building itself, everything is measured.
If you go to something for a fee, take cash with you, there is a VTB ATM inside the consulate, if you cannot withdraw from VTB, they give you the opportunity to "run away" to the nearest ATM with a refund.
I also partially agree with the reviews on security, they let me in almost minute by minute, 10 minutes late - they won't let me in. You need to go through two gates and leave everything except the documents, they don't let you in with a phone.
I lost my passport in Minsk. I ran to the embassy, I was there at 16.50! They didn't open it for a long time, an irritated elderly employee came out, began to scold for the loss, like a child! In my 50 years, this is the first loss in my life, and I was desperate myself, I came for help! I had a social card with a photo with me, but for some reason it was categorically rejected. It was said to wait outside the gate, because the working day is over, but they will collectively decide what to do with me. He shouted several times for me to move away from the gate, the feeling is not pleasant! After waiting for 10-15 minutes, a young man came out, offered to calmly look through my things again and come tomorrow with two compatriots who know me and will confirm my citizenship. Then they will submit a request and wait for an unknown time for a response. At the same time, where I would stay, if hotels do not accept me without a passport, remained a mystery! Thank God, using the services of Yandex taxi, I went through the phones of taxi drivers and one of them confirmed that he had a passport, and I safely avoided returning to this terrible place!
In the Consular Department, the man at the entrance is constantly shouting, insulting people, behaving rudely, disrespectfully, collective farm boorish. This creates very unpleasant situations with the consulate and the attitude towards people, such people should not work in a place that was created to take care of their citizens in the territory of friendly Belarus, where people behave politely and are not rude, believing that they are the authorities here and they can do anything
