Helpful tips for international passport renewal: make sure to have all your paperwork ready. This includes your passport which is about to expire, a photocopy of the passport, the printout with your appointment time, your passport application form, a prepaid USPS priority envelope with signature required so you don't have to trek back to the embassy if you don't live in NYC, $90 in cash for the renewal fee, and a form filled out authorizing the embassy to mail your passport. It look me 6 months being on the waiting list to get an appointment. I have since learned that you can buy an appointment from random people who use bots to book appointments. I don't know who these assholes are, but they're out there. It is recommended that you show up 15 minutes early to your appointment. There is comfortable seating available while you wait. The whole process took me about 30 minutes, so that was very nice.

I can't comment on any services within the consulate, but the poster display was really cool, and of course I had to take a photo of each of the ten posters. The movies depicted were: Rosemary's Baby; Platoon; Star Wars; Terminator; Blue Velvet; Pulp Fiction; Blues Brothers; The Bridge on the River Kwai; Apocalypse Now; and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. My favourite poster was Blues Brothers. The consulate is a beautiful building, and near the entrance is a sculpture of a man on a bench, sitting beside a chess board. According to the plaque, it is Jan Karski, a Polish underground courier and resistance fighter in World War II. [Yelp collections: NY Christmas 2022]

My recent experience with the Croatian embassies in the U.S. was truly appalling. I first called…read morethe Croatian Embassy in Chicago at (312) 482-9902 to inquire about the process for voting in local elections in Dubrovnik from abroad. The male representative who answered was shockingly rude. When I asked for guidance, his exact words were: "I've never had anyone ask me that question in 12 years." When I requested a follow-up after he consulted someone, he bluntly said he had no time to waste on it. I asked for his name, and he refused to provide it. Hoping for better assistance, I contacted the Croatian Embassy in Washington, D.C. A female representative answered and informed me that I could only vote in presidential elections, not local ones, from abroad. When I politely asked for her name for reference, she responded by yelling at me: "Why are you asking me for my name?! What is your name?"--in a completely unprofessional tone. I've never encountered such a lack of professionalism and courtesy, especially from representatives of a national embassy. These positions should be held by individuals who are trained to assist citizens with respect and competence. Shame on you, Croatia, for allowing such poor representation abroad.

We saw a good amount of people just lounging on the couches there and reading which I thought was pretty peaceful. If you're looking to buy some french books, this place would probably have it. Otherwise, you're not missing much.

Was told to wait 2-3 hours due to technical issues, with delays for others ahead plus upcoming prayer/lunch breaks. They couldn't reschedule or guarantee service, only "try" if I left my contact details. I explained I had work and couldn't wait indefinitely. Later learned the process can be done online, yet the representative still insisted on taking my contact info in case of website errors. Overall, poor efficiency and disregard for time. Of course I didn't leave my contact info and decided to walk out after wasting 3 hours of my day.
