Embassy in Manchester

“I visited the Consulate last Friday and was greeted with professionalism and respect by everyone I interacted with. Thank you for the fantastic service.”

“Once again, I would like to extend my sincere thanks, gratitude and appreciation to all the staff at the Iraqi Consulate in Manchester except for the receptionist who was trying to obstruct the processing of the application on the day, the 16th of December. (This was exactly the opposite of the receptionist I met on my first visit to the Consulate on September 30th of this year). They facilitated the correction of some simple errors that occurred in the agency transaction. They were due to my failure to review it, despite the fact that the responsible employee asked me to review it twice. My greetings to everyone at the Consulate and I wish them a new year full of all goodness and happiness. Dr. Abdul Abbas Abdul Ridha 16/12/2024”

“Over the years we visited this consulate for different issues we needed to resolve. All, and by all I mean 101% of our visits were resolved by the kind and professional staff, sometimes was at the begining of the day, other times at the second part of the day. It did not matter, always we finished for what we visited for. The staff was always kind and professional, gave the logic explanations if something needed to be amended or done otherwise but always presented to us different options to our needs... We always went there prepared as advised during the booking through the system but the base thing for successfully finishing our visits was the friendly and professional staff. Sometimes they even stayed over the closing time just to resolve our situation. I do not know how other people be unsatisfied by the service probably they were visiting without the documents needed or without all persons implicated present. I did this mistake once , I understood my mistake but I couldn't blame the staff for it. If is legal and you have what is needed you will be served extraordinary by the staff and your issue will be resolved. Last visit was today, all of my requests were resolved in less than 40 minutes. I was informed that a Consulate opened in Birmingham so sadly I will not visit probably any more at Manchester. But as my experience in those 10 years with this place was so positive and excellent never say never, I can drive 2hrs for such a service. Dear staff at Manchester consulate, you are the best, negreșit și repetat, mulțumim pt ajutor și dedicație.”

“went to submit NVR application. Make sure you can buy an envelope paid and 500grams from any post office. If you are applying for NVR or new passport or renew passport.”

“I had a great experience at the Manchester Consulate. The staff, including the manager, were very friendly and helpful. They were neither bossy nor rude and efficiently handled four NICOP applications within an hour. There is plenty of parking available on Conyngham Road, with three hours free, as well as a few spaces near the consulate on Dickenson Road (though I’m not sure about the parking timings there). At the time of writing this review, next-day bookings at the Manchester Consulate are offered at 7:00 PM every evening, Sunday through Thursday. I found plenty of available slots when I made my booking. There weren’t many people at the consulate on our appointment day, possibly because it was a Friday. I did notice a couple of people without appointments being served, but you need to have a thick skin in those situations, as the staff can be quite strict or blunt. Overall, I found the entire team pleasant and willing to help.”

“Great and friendly service. He's very informative about visa travel and it didn't take too long to receive the visa. Definitely would recommend him”

“Best place for OCI, E VISA TO INDIA, INDIAN PASSPORT RENEWALS and SCHENZEN VISAS. INDIAN PASSPORT PHOTOGRAPHS”

“4h of drive to sort 2 passports for mine children. Less then 30min later all done. No queues in front of building or to security screening. On this ocasion no waiting for mine slot inside either. We were seen eaven before. Visiting in past similar place in London I can say only Manchester. To book appointments we used web page system and agreed for putting mine name in queue. This means you will get a email with suggested appointment date and time. For me this worked well.”

“Parking was available and staff very friendly and helpful”

“I recently visited the Portuguese Consulate in Manchester for my passport renewal, and I was very impressed with the service I received. The process was smooth and well-organised, and the staff were professional and welcoming. I would especially like to thank Sara, who assisted me with my application. She was extremely helpful, patient, and friendly, making the whole experience stress-free. I really appreciate her support and the excellent service from the consulate team. Obrigado!”
