They send you back all the way across the street so you can acquire 200euros in cash so you can pay for your passport. Poor, small or no signs telling you where to go. Expected more from the US Embassy. Nice staff though.

Very efficient process when I went here to pick up some documents.

Inside security will only let you take in paperwork - all purses/ bags / cell phones are put in a locker and you are given a receipt. Then you grab a ticket for the paperwork you are after (visa, us citizen service, etc - only 4 options) and then you go thru a security door and into a waiting room. Lots of seating available and the TV was on CNN, but I had a book so read that and then my now was called 45 mins later, paperwork sorted and I was all done!

Well serviced by Tram and conveniently located in Avenue Louise, I find this visa center quite easy…read moreto use, with lots of seating and the staff very friendly in person, even if their website for filling out forms wasn't as easy to navigate. It's fairly straightforward - drop off applications in the morning, pick them up in the afternoon. If you have made errors in filling up your form, there is an Internet Kiosk and for €10 you get 30 minutes and a chance to fill out the form again. There is also a photo booth if your photo size is incorrect plus a photocopy machine for 25 cents a page (which was a lifesaver for me one day as didn't have copy of my ID card) There are 4 counters, so it moves fairly briskly and plenty of seating if you need to wait. Also Loos around the corner, to the left corridor if u need to use facilities. Oh also one pro tip - as soon as you walk in, to the right is a small ticket machine - make sure you get your server number from here straightaway as otherwise someone else will get in line before you. One other thing - these guys do NOT help you with the OCI application! That has to be dropped off at the Embassy. But fear not, if you make that mistake like I did, the Indian embassy is located only a 7 min walk away, thank goodness!
