Consulate General of Chile

Ok, some are Nice some are rude.

I needed a legal document to be signed by the consulate to grant legal power to someone back in Chile They were very fast to respond and gave me an apt, within a day. They instructed me what to take and were very clear with their instructions.
I don’t give them 5 stars since I did go at the right time but they had me waiting for 2 hours. And while they attended to me and my documents they answered phone calls from other people asking questions about their website etc.
However, it all got done. And I’m happy about it :)

I reached the consulate on a Friday afternoon at 12 – 30 pm without an appointment. Although it closes at 1 pm, the security and the staff were extremely friendly and within moments of writing an email request I was granted an appointment and was on my way up to the consulate. The office is quite tastefully decorated inside and the consular officer who called me in was very, very helpful with the visa application process and courteous to a fault. As I was carrying all the relevant documents and photograph, she completed the formalities and gave me an appointment a month later to come back and collect the visa stamp.
I cannot think of a more pleasant experience at any other consulate or embassy I’ve had occasion to visit.
Simply superb! Thank you Chile!

I have had to deal with this consulate a number of times. «Julio» is not the nicest, most patient representative of this company, let alone Chile. By email his answers are 1 or 2 words long as if he can’t be bothered to help. It’s frustrating. I can’t get anyone on the phone either. So annoying.

Uptight staff…
