You make an appointment and when you show up, they say you don't have an appointment even though they have your name down. Then you get there for what you were scheduled for, and they don't have anything ready after you have waited 45 minutes inside before even calling your name. Very frustrating! Been going there for the last 2 years to get a Visa and citizenship, still waiting for my card

Bad services they never answer the phone or emails or can’t leave a voicemail!

This place seems unreachable. I tried every phone number listed on their website, and nothing! The few times that you're lucky enough to leave a voicemail, it cuts you off and hangs up on you within 5 seconds as you're leaving the message. Then, you try to contact them via email and get no response there either. You try to make an online appointment in their website, and you can't! Supposedly, you can't go there unless you have an appointment made with them. It's well apparent that they don't want you there at all! All avenues to get your business done completely blocked by them (phone, online, and in-person). Well done serving the public!

They will not answer phones or emails. My gf applied for Portuguese citizenship a year and half ago and haven't heard back anything. They basically took her money

I registed on-line for an appointment at this consultate and they said it was complete that they would send a notification to my e-mail, but never received it, what do I do know?

I never received an email either but still went to my appointment & they had me down at the right time. Be prepared though,.... everything is slow-paced there, including on getting in the building

Does this Citizen Card consult?

How to get a visa for Portugal

You have to make an appointment online and it takes a while before you get an appointment

how long does it take for the visa to be out?

Good luck. Your better off flying to Portugal and getting it done there. Also this consulate WILL NOT answer their phone or reply to emails. You are better off going to the building and ringing bell.

My daughter is sending emails to the consulate every day for an appointment, they are not answering for 2 weeks now. Can anyone give an advise ?

They don't reply emails. If you need an appointment you must visit their website and schedule your appointment there.

Can someone informe me. My parents have an appointment to renew their Portuguese Passports do they need to bring their own passport photos or are the photos taken in the office the day of the appointment?

Rosa Duarte | Nov 22, 2021
Elcana Lima | Nov 22, 2021

The photos are taken there. They have a machine for this.

How much does it cost for a birth certificate and what documentation is needed.

Prices for this and that are different. Best bet email them from the web homepage with your question. Make sure to add your contact info. They generally reply or call you back the same day or early next day, depending on when you send it

I have been trying to reach your office for the past two days and the phone line is busy. we sent a request last year for Maria Eduarda Cruz, DOB 11/24/1965 to be registered in Povoacao, Sao MIguel as married. No response yet

Keep trying but don't post your Birthday publicly

Hi, tried calling the 997-6151 number for the last 4 days and the message is saying that "call party is busy, hang up and try again later" Is this the correct number for the consulate? I've looked and saw that it's closed on Wednesday

The best method is to send them an email and they do reply quickly between appointments

Nope, still on pleasant st. 2nd floor. Was there about 2 weeks ago. You do need an appointment to get in though.

My mother-in-law lives in Connecticut. Can she renew her New Bedford passport and citizen card?

Mariana M | Sep 19, 2018
Michael Aguiar | Sep 19, 2019

Yes

Do you need to wait to pick up the passport or you have a different department just for that?

Maria Simoes | Sep 19, 2018
Carlos DaCunha | Sep 19, 2018

You do all of the application paperwork there including the electronic finger printing etc. Then you return 4-6 weeks later to pick it up. They will send you an advice by regular mail that it has arrived. Citizen cards are a little quicker, 2-4 weeks.
