Security Notice
Please be advised that all visitors are subject to thorough personal search and vehicle inspection, in order to ensure the safety and security of Embassy employees and visitors. It is therefore recommended that you avoid carrying a large number of items, mobile phones and electronic devices with you when visiting as it may delay the security screening process. All personal items and electronics will also have to be stored prior to you accessing the Embassy. It is suggested that you plan to arrive at least 20 minutes prior to any scheduled appointment in order to complete the security screening process and the visitor registration procedures. It is strongly advised to book an appointment prior to making a visit to the Embassy.

Also note that there is very limited parking space around the Embassy. Alternate transport arrangements are therefore recommended.
