South African Consulate-General in Munich's telephones have been severely affected

For those requiring Civis Services, please continue to use the normal means of communication in this regard by sending an email to munich.civicapp(at)dirco.gov.za to schedule an appointment. For the Consular Department, please continue to use the munich.consular(at)dirco.gov.za email address.
