Ministry of Foreign Affairs Singapore Reviews

Poor customer service in notary counter. Throw and bang your documents on the table. Show you black face as though you owe him a living! Buck up MFA!

Google map guides you to back gate which is conveniently closed for pathetic public. Main entrance is 30mins long walk from back gate. MFA doesn't even bother to update map to accurately guide people. Security says everyday people voluntarily end up at back gate. MFA is joyfully sitting behind Americans & British backs, misguiding masses.

Just park outside, exchange pass to enter for documents to get endorsed. Can be done in 20 mins when off peak.

Do the photocopy outside before coming to MFA.

Arrived and 33 people in front of me. 1 person at the counter.
In 20 min 1 person was attended... I left after doing the math for the queue waiting time.
Unacceptable.
Just go the before they open in the morning.

The entrance via Camp Road is closed, if you're walking from the bus stop, be prepared for more than 30 minutes of walking to the other entrance.

The only main entrance is at Sherwood Road via Minden Road (Botanic Gardens). Be prepared for long queues and tight security checks. Public carparks are limited.

Quick & efficient notation/apostille services. The only problem is that Google Map always shows direction to the back gate at Camp Rd (turn from Tanglin), which is always closed. The only way for visitors is from Holland Rd to Minden Rd then Sherwood Rd.

Councelar service is the best of it kind. Fast and awesome

In the google map, I am led to 1 sherwood road, take the subway from the Tanjong Pagar to the red hill and then take the 132 bus to the station, and walk from the main road to the path, about 5 minutes, ok. Write this door does not open. I am copying the other side, well, I went to the back door of the British Embassy. I was so bored that I couldn't find the entrance door to do things. I had to check google and see how the people who had been there had feedback. Everyone complained that Google Maps led us to the door that could not be entered. I should go from the door of Minden Road, so I walked out from the tanglin road and circled a big circle to the real door. Fortunately, there was ofo on the road, riding a section, or I was more than 3 o'clock from Tanjung Pa Ge came out, completely because I couldn't find the door and wasted a lot of time. It took me almost an hour to find the door. First change the card at the security office. When you enter the first floor of the building, turn left and turn left. A small hall, the attitude of the staff is very good. At that time, it was already 16:26, and there were 4 minutes to get off work. Finally, it was successfully covered with the ID identified as true chop.

In response to foreign governments warning our country about our remarks on the South China Sea dispute, our MFA should adopt the following... The governments of China, Philippines and Vietnam are greedy over the oil reserves in the South China Sea. In their own countries, their national governments have long allowed their provincial or state officials to trample their rural people's human rights... This is actually a great opportunity for other Southeast Asian countries to teach their navies a lesson over the South China Sea dispute! A war declared on them will not only help S'pore improve its image on human rights records, but can also be used to warn these three trouble-making countries against human rights abuse on their rural peoples. If S'pore navy opens fire at their warships to protect the safety of fishing boats and commercial ships, they will only call back their ambassadors but would not retaliate at our land as S'pore is too far away for their strategic interests... We are an important country in ASEAN and Pacific regions, so they would not dare cease their ties with us...

Tight security. Lovely grounds. We needed to authenticate our documents. We drove there on two occasions and it was seamless. We brought along the government documents to be authenticated (originals & photocopies), got a visitor's pass from the guard house, took a queue ticket and waited for our number to be displayed. It was all over in ten minutes. Security is tight. Access is through a turnstile.

PS: Enter the MFA through Minden Road --> Sherwood Road. There is an open car park beside the gantry. Park there and take a one minute walk to the guardhouse. Bring along an identication document with your photo to exchange for a pass. The identication document will be returned to you once you give up your pass. Photography and videography are not allowed.

I have the fortune to enter this place.It was my first time. A very peaceful and tranquil compound contrary to the work in the Ministry Of Foreign Affairs.

It's uniqueness lies in the fact that the buildings are no more than two levels (very unusual in urban Singapore) and because of this gives me a very modern majestic feel. It was as if I was in a palace! Photographs of past Minister of Foreign Affairs and current, lined the walls of the common corridor.

All in all, I do not feel like I am in a Government building, and in Singapore!

Main entrance is at Sherwood Road. There is no entrance for public by Camp Road. Sherwood Road is near Botanic Gardens. If you come by Camp Road you need to back track to Tanglin Road pass 4 embassies, pass by Botanic Gardens and up a hill to the main gate at Sherwood Road. Avoid coming by Tanglin Road.

Best consular service!
Google Maps leads to back gate, which is only accessible by staff. There is a grass patch leading you to main gate, 3 min walk. From the field, you can see a very big tree as photo shown. Don t need 20 mins walk like other review said. Can also ask the guard.

Cold, sterile, corporate place. Very tight security. Meh.

Google map directed me to the back-door of the ministry. Had to walk a long way around to get to the public entrance via Minden Road

Excellent service from the officers. They settled the issues for my colleague very quickly and are very professional.

Can update! ! ! It s not the right route. Follow the map and walk to a door that doesn t open at all! I also asked people to find a circle around a big one to find

Google Mapsm directs you to the wrong gate. The right one is at Minden Road, a 20 mins walk away. Don't follow Google Map's direction unless you want to do a long walk in the hot sun.

I was here for document legalisation which cost $10, payable with NETS. Self-service photocopy machine with clear instruction is available at 20 cents per page. The experience at MFA was fuss-free and pleasant, but Google Maps conveniently guided you to an entrance which is closed to public whereby the right entrance is easily half an hour away. The consular section has been moved to a new annex building from Mar 2019. Could we get it updated on Google Maps please?

To be on the safe side, would recommend checking their website for directions and requirements for document legalisation.
