Consulate-General of the People's Republic of China in Adelaide

Efficient and informed consulating services, friendly staff and affordable prices. Thank you.

One of the female staff there is...a shame...then you work in the place like that...you are the shame of the country you present. I can not believe that she were talking so loudly that everyone waiting can hear the word 'divorce' in the lobby. The two clients, ex Chinese/Aussie couple who were in front of her were like did something wrong and it was the judgement day... I can see both of them are so embarrassed and their faces flushed... and that female staff were not embarrassed even a tiny little

Appalling service, very rude staff also why can't it be located in the city not out in the suburbs - strange

Service and facilities are terrible. China is Australia's biggest enemy, allowing them to build this suburban fortress is a terrible idea.

Make an appointment before you go otherwise you will not be allowed in. Fair enough. This is becoming customary now with many embassies, consulates and high commissions. Keep your email confirmation as name on their list was not correct so I showed them the email. No problems. Went to drop off a DFAT Certified letter that required the Chinese Consulate Certificate. When I arrived they asked where my mask was. I did not have one, but the burly guard said they would give me one which was nice. So if you are going to the Chinese Consulate, bring a mask. When you enter, you are required to leave your electronic devices in a locker so if you do not want to do that, do not bring them with you. Waited in the room where a few staff members came and instructed me to complete the forms, took my document and said to return in 6 days. No problem. Payment is made when you pick up. Six days later, same guard remembered me which was nice. I went to pick up the document, all good. Paid via bank debit card, I assume they do not take cash again this is becoming customary for many embassies, consulates and high commissions. I had a few other questions pertaining to the Chinese Work Visa Application which they were helpful and to address it with the Chinese Visa Office. All good in the end. Yes, things tend to be bureaucratic, but this is typical of any government agency irrespective of which country they are from- Australia, Canada, China, UAE, USA, etc.
