Please note, as of Monday 23 August, you will be asked to present a valid Green Pass as a condition of entry to the Embassy. If you are not eligible to obtain a Green Pass, you may present a current negative COVID-19 test result.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR AUSTRALIANS WISHING TO APPLY FOR PASSPORTS:

The Australian Passport Office (APO) is currently seeing strong demand for passports. For this reason, it is advising its customers to apply for or renew their passport well ahead of their planned travel dates. The APO is therefore recommending, at least for now, that they allow up to six weeks to get a new passport.

The information and links on this site are aimed at answering the most commonly asked questions about Australia. The site covers services for Australian citizens, as well as information on immigration and visas.
