For visas you need the second floor. There is a great information desk to help you with advice and information as well as helping with forms. Staff speak some English, enough to get through all the paperwork at least!

Opening times are 9am-4pm weekdays excluding public holidays.

Waiting times are about 2 hours to get the application processed, and of course you have to go back to pick up your visa.
