Review of Egyptian Consulate, Melbourne

Well let me tell you all, every visit to the Egypt...

Well let me tell you all, every visit to the Egyptian Consulate in Melbourne was a breathe. It was like visiting our beloved Egypt, wonderful smiles and down to earth people and a very warm welcome to visitors.
My name is Mohamed Samy and I needed to renew my passport and my wife and I made the enquiry over the phone and got all the exact requirements then made a booking online and off we went.
On arrival, all precautionary measures against COVID-19 were taken by the consulate employees. Mr Ameen the first person to welcome us was so polite and very Friendly. You could even see his smiles behind his face mask.
Then we met our Consulate General, Mr Khaled, what a wonderful example of a very understanding and helpful Egyptian Official. He makes you proud to be Egyptians.
We put the application with a great help from Mr Khaled and we were told that when the passport is ready, we will be notified.
Frankly, and considering the travel limitations for Embassy officials due to COVID-19, we expected a long wait to receive the passport.

To our surprise, only after few weeks we got a phone call to inform us that the passport arrived. We went to the Consulate to get the passport and I needed an additional service and we were just looking forward to see the consulate employees and to feel home again. We were lucky to see Mr Ameen welcoming us again then we saw Mr Khaled who gave me his professional advice and facilitated everything for us on the spot.
In summary, we are very grateful to The Egyptian Consulate Mr Khaled for all his help and to the consulate employees particularly Mr Ameen for making us feel at home.

Oh how much we miss our beloved country Egypt.
