Book a government office appointment online instead of walking in
A ten-minute booking beats a two-hour queue.
Why it works
Walk-in counters serve whoever is physically in line, so wait time depends entirely on how many people showed up before you. Slot-based booking, where it is offered, reserves a specific window and skips that queue entirely.
