Make an appointment online


Via e-Appointment you can easily make an appointment at the Embassy for all our consular services. Please note this is an IN PERSON appointment at the Embassy in Canberra, and not a phone or online appointment.

It is not possible to make an appointment for a visa application. These applications must be submitted in one of the Visa Application Centers.

Note, appointments must be made at least one day in advance. If you are not sure which category you should select, choose 'other consular services'. Please first contact the Embassy to check if an appointment is required and/or if your file is in order (to avoid traveling to Canberra in vain).
