Thanks to Miss Tanya and the whole consulate, I was able to visit Switzerland and meet my biological father finally! She was so sweet and accommodating! I had a bit of a complicated visa application. My appointment was close to my scheduled departing flight and so I was worried I might not get the visa in time. I called the consulate weeks before to let them know about my situation and they were very helpful and told me what I needed to do. They made it clear that they can’t promise me anything, but they still gave me a chance and some hope. I made sure to gather all the requirements I needed. Come my visa appointment day, I was actually late. (Please do not be late for your appointments. It is very, very stressful so always be fully prepared! Atlanta traffic can be pretty crazy. I learned my lesson.) Then so I thought I completely messed up my chance and I almost cried in my car on the way. But I got there and Miss Tanya greeted me with a big smile and a kind understanding. She reviewed my documents and thankfully, all of it were good enough. I got the visa soon enough before my flight. It was such a great feeling! Now I am back home and I had thoroughly enjoyed my time there in Switzerland. If not for the good-hearted people of this consulate, I would not have gotten all these wonderful memories I carry now. A big thank you to them! I’ve only been to a few embassies and consulates out there but this one really cares about you. Great service!

This was really a delightful and pleasant experience for me. I had to get a Schengen visa for an upcoming business trip in February. The personnel who greeted me was nice,efficient and hospitable all at the same time. I arrived at around 9.55 A.M for 10.15 A.M interview and there was another gentleman in the counter. She inquired about my timing and courteously asked me to wait while she served the other customer. On my turn I was asked to slide all the documents through the window which were quickly validated. Since I had fingerprinting done for my previous Schengen visa we breezed through this process. My visa was approved and I was given the ETA and some useful tips for future application. Overall it took around 5 minutes for the whole process and I felt like I was in a travel agency rather than some consulate. TIP: a) Use the check-list for all the documents needed for the application b) Email the consulate for any specific clarifications related to the documents.They did respond in my case.

  • Xinze Wang

I've navigated the visa application process multiple times at various consulates, but the Consulate General of Switzerland unequivocally stands out as the premier experience. The visa services representative, a notably friendly and accommodating lady, extended unparalleled assistance that significantly streamlined our process. Her approachability and willingness to help were sincerely appreciated, making our interaction with the consulate pleasantly memorable. We greatly appreciate her commendable customer service, which reflected the overall professionalism and efficiency of the Swiss Consulate. Highly recommended for anyone.

  • Cindy Lorenz

The best embassy staff with great service I've ever known! They assist me over the phone since I'm not able to go there directly. The person that answered my call is very nice and helpful and she even recognized my status right away after I mentioned my name. After my visa got authorized and stamped, they returned my passport right away with confirmation email (the stamping process is less than 2 days!). Everything is just very clear and fast!

  • Sharendra Panday

Coming from South Africa, we need visas for most western countries so I have visited quite a few in my time, this consulate has to be hands down the best one I have ever been to. The employees here are truly great ambassadors for their country. They treat people with respect, dignity and really care. They were wonderful with our kids and the service most importantly was efficient and fast. Special mention to Tanya who was wonderful.

  • Carole Raney

AMAZING Customer Service ! I called the number on their website and even though it said it was closed Ms. Sabine picked up. She was very helpful and very kind. As it happens my Swiss Passport expired in January, I never noticed until today, one day before our vacation going to Canada. Ms. Sabine filled out a temporary passport application for me and I am able to go get it tomorrow before we fly out. Million Thanks Ms. Sabine !!!

  • vic NY (Vic NY)

Had to take a 6:00 a.m. flight out of Miami to Atlanta to get an emergency reentry visa back to Switzerland without a prior appointment, I didn’t know what to expect. By 10:10 I had my visa in hand. So thankful and the staff here is the nicest consulate staff I have ever dealt with, so customer service oriented and so full of smiles. It is definitely very rare for government employees. Thanks a million!

  • Dan L

Went there for a passport renewal two weeks ago. Couldn't have had a better experience. Friendly, knowledgeable and very competent staff. I showed up early, they took me right away. About 20 minutes later I was out of there with the advice that "you should have your passport in about two weeks". I received my passport today, exactly two weeks and one day later. Outstanding service.

  • Aashish Talwar

This is definitely the best embassy experience we have ever had.The staff was kind ,friendly and absolutely professional.Tanya Schulze went above and beyond to expedite our visas and extended the kind of help that we did not expect at all.Omg the entire interaction was just WOW.It just reaffirms the faith that goodness still exists.Thank you so much Tanya....Shweta & Aashish Talwar

  • Ju L

The best consulate staff we have ever met! They smiled at you from the minute you walked in, and left you with a brighter smile when you walked out. All of them were friendly, efficient, and professional! They also respond to phone calls and emails fast and professionally. If you need a visa, this is the place to go. Hands down - simply the best!!

  • dhruv samel

I have had multiple VISA applications and interviews, This location is the best one yet. Very polite and very responsive. The person that was collecting my document was super kind in letting me know where to get new passports pictures. The email response from the team is very fast and keeps you posted on when you would receive your passport back.

  • Aruna Chandrasekar

Best experience so far in a consulate . I have visited so many consulates but cannot beat this one . Highest degree of hospitality , very pleasing behaviour . Thanks to Tanya and the entire Switzerland consulate in Atlanta for making our visit so good. It’s very hard to find such govt offices these days . I would like to give a 10 star rating .

  • Lopa Behera

It is not often you see such sweet personality like Tanya in a govt office .very helpful and fast service .Before going I was confused whether kids are allowed inside office ,turns out sitting area is outside with some books for kids .we stayed together in sitting area while Ms.Tanya took and verified our documents through Glassdoor .

  • ABU SIRAJ BELAHOUEL

As a frequent traveler, I deal with consulates monthly...Honestly this is the best consulate in the USA so far! Amazingly excellent service, convenience (mailing my application instead of traveling to Atlanta), professional email correspondence, fast service, and more! I hope to see the same with the rest of the brother embassies.

  • Joel Horwich

I held for 33 minutes after the voice response system connected me to the switchboard. No one ever picked up. A well-earned one star. In response to a message left during a second attempt, the assistant to the consul General contacted me directly. Excellent assistance and service. Five stars for that one.

  • Nigel S

Called to discuss current COVID restrictions on travel to Zurich from Atlanta. As with everything about this beautiful country, the service was perfect. The lady I spoke with was perfectly polite, friendly and informative. Hoping to go to the Jungfrau region for some R&R in August 2021. Fingers crossed!

  • Shahzad Irani

I had a great experience at the Consulate General of Switzerland, Midtown location in Atlanta. Tanya Schulze handled my Schengen Visa case. Her customer service was exceptional. She was very responsive to emails and and was kind enough to understand the reason for my delay on the day of the appointment.

  • Claire Myers

Terrible. Have been waiting for 8 months to change my name, have not been helpful at all. They are forcing me to come during a pandemic, putting me at risk when I have no insurance and while I am at high risk of getting sick, getting in a plane and spending money I don’t have just for finger prints.

  • ricardo radwanski

We arrived at 9:40 a.m. for our 10:00 a.m. appointment, and were immediately helped so that by 10:20 a.m. all matters had been resolved (new Swiss passport, including temporary, and Swiss I.D.). The lady who assisted us was most helpful and super pleasant. Thank you! A very good experience!

  • Jessica Ely

It was wonderful. It took me forever (3 hours) but it was due to filling out paperwork to marry a Swiss citizen. My German isn't great (and the translated version wasn't so great) so it took me forever to do the paperwork and had a lot of questions. They were patient with me.

  • Ramya Reddy

They have been very responsive and courteous. This is been by far the best embassy experience so far ! Highly recommend this place. very clear with instructions and they do respond to emails rather quickly. It’s been such a good experience. Thanks all very much !

  • CNGRN1

Our experiences with this Suisse Consulate have always been positive. They are kind, professional and conscientious. They may be understaffed re: answering phones so I emailed them and someone CALLED me back. You don't see that kind of service anymore.

  • Gabriela Raimander PA

I had a few questions pertaining to elder care and planning for my mother and some questions for myself and received resources and guidance - exactly what I was looking for!! 5-star, caring service from Mrs. Meister. Thank you! ☺️ (Picture for tax)

  • sudhakar kanagarajan

This consulate provided us with an incredible experience in obtaining our Shengan visa. They are really pleasant to deal with and patiently answer all of our queries. They disproved the myth that all consulates are difficult to deal with.

  • Alfonso Orsini

We have gotten visas from many consulates from around the world. This was by far the smoothest, most organized, most caring, and least stressful experience we have ever had. We were so impressed by the warmth and professionalism.

  • Tarun Bakhru

Unlike my other visa interview experiences this one was very easy and smooth. Consulate receptionist was extremely nice and it felt like she was welcoming a guest to her country and that it was an honor for them. Wow.
