In extraordinary circumstances, such as an emergency involving the potential loss of life or limb, please send a request through email to AddisACS@state.gov during business hours for access to the consular section. Please note that your request might be approved or denied.
Applicants with an emergency requiring immediate service should sent an email to addisacs@state.gov and request an expedited appointment.
