INFORMATION REGARDING CONSULAR FEES:

This Consulate General has witnessed recently that some citizens have been paying their fee for consular services with ¨Money Orders¨ that stated a different amount of money than the exact fee. 

This Consulate General WILL NOT ACCEPT ¨MONEY ORDERS¨which include neither bigger nor smaller amounts to the exact consular fee. Files will be rejected and users will be asked either to pay in cash or to bring a new ¨Money Order¨ that could be processed by any bank office of the neighborhood. Such citizen could come back the very same day from 9am to 1pm to finish his/her consular proceeding without applying for a new appointment.
