The temporary suspension, which took effect on June 28, led to the indefinite cancellation of all confirmed visa appointments for non-EU applicants.
At the time, the consulate cited no official reason for the decision and instructed affected individuals to re-register through the online appointment system.
With the resumption of services, applicants can now proceed with visa applications, documentation requests, and other related matters.
The consulate also acknowledged the inconvenience caused and thanked the public for their understanding during the disruption.
While operations are now back to normal, the brief pause in services raised concerns among applicants and travel agents, many of whom had upcoming travel plans or urgent applications.
