Planning your visit
Appointments at the Cyprus High Commission in Canberra
Consular visits should be arranged in advance.
The High Commission asks visitors to contact the mission before attending for consular matters. Appointments for visa applications can be arranged by telephone or email.
Passport and identity card applications require an in-person appointment because biometric data must be collected.
Cypriot citizens who cannot conveniently travel to Canberra may also be able to attend one of the High Commission’s announced consular visits in major Australian cities.
Before travelling: confirm your appointment and make sure you have the required original documents and supporting evidence for your particular service.
Regional responsibilities
Jurisdiction and Consular Responsibilities
The Cyprus High Commission in Canberra represents the Republic of Cyprus in Australia and also holds accreditation across the wider region.
The Cyprus Ministry of Foreign Affairs currently lists the Canberra High Commission as also accredited to New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Tonga, Timor-Leste, Samoa, Nauru and the Solomon Islands.
The High Commission’s own mission information also refers to regional accreditation covering additional Pacific states. Applicants outside Australia should therefore confirm directly with the High Commission that Canberra is responsible for their particular country and consular procedure.
Within Australia, the High Commission also conducts consular visits in major cities when announced, allowing eligible applicants to complete certain in-person procedures without travelling to Canberra.
