There will be two visits to the Consular section – one for the advisory interview and one for the renunciation. Please note that you should be given enough time between the two interviews to consider your act. Also, depending on availability of appointments, the second interview might need to be scheduled several weeks after the first one. We recommend filing the application for renunciation in the country where the person resides.
