All visitors must be screened upon entering the U.S. Consulate and are subject to inspection via walk-through and hand-held metal detectors. Moreover, personal items are also subject to full inspection by use of x-ray and other detection equipment.

Any visitor refusing to submit to security screening shall be prohibited from entering the U.S. Consulate.

The following items are prohibited inside the U.S. Consulate:

  • Electronic or recording equipment of any kind to include laptops, cell phones, tape/CD/MP3 players, pagers, keyless remotes, etc.
  • Backpacks, bags, luggage, or large purses (purses 12 x 10 x 6 in. and smaller will be permitted although we strongly encourage you not to bring any bags in order to expedite the screening process)
