Fáilte Welcome

In addition to providing information on the services provided by the Embassy, it is a source of information on Ireland and Australia alike and on the links between our two countries.

Passport Watch
We recommend that applicants in Australia allow eight weeks for their biometric passport to be produced. If you need to travel in an emergency, we can issue a non-biometric passport with limited validity locally, at our discretion and on production of evidence of the need for emergency travel. (Please note that a holiday is not an emergency!)
