About the mission
About the Tanzanian Consulate in Perth
The Tanzanian Consulate in Perth is an honorary consular representation of the United Republic of Tanzania with a consular district covering several Australian states and territories.
The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade officially designates the post as the Consulate of the United Republic of Tanzania.
The mission is headed by Mr Didier Murcia, Honorary Consul of Tanzania. DFAT records his appointment from 23 June 1997.
The Perth post forms part of Tanzania’s consular network in Australia alongside honorary consulates in Adelaide and Melbourne.
Local assistance
Consular services
As an honorary consular post, the Perth Consulate provides local consular guidance and assistance within the scope of the services available through the mission.
Tanzanian citizens
Tanzanian citizens within the Consulate’s jurisdiction can contact the Perth office for appropriate local consular information, guidance and assistance.
Emergency assistance
Tanzania advises its citizens abroad to contact the nearest Tanzanian mission, Consul General or Honorary Consul in an emergency. The Perth post can therefore provide an important local point of contact.
Consular guidance
The Honorary Consul can provide guidance on appropriate Tanzanian authorities and procedures when an enquiry requires processing beyond the services available locally.
Check the service first: contact the Consulate before submitting passport, visa, legalisation, citizenship or other official documents to confirm the current procedure and whether the matter can be handled in Perth.
Visitor arrangements
Appointments at the Tanzanian Consulate in Perth
DFAT currently lists the Consulate’s business hours as Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.
The current DFAT listing does not specify a separate appointment requirement. Published business hours should not be taken to mean that every consular procedure is available without prior arrangements.
Contact the Consulate before visiting to confirm whether an appointment is required and whether the service you need can be handled at the Perth office.
Before your visit: confirm current visitor arrangements directly with the Consulate, particularly if you need a specific document or consular procedure.
Consular district
Jurisdiction of the Tanzanian Consulate in Perth
The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade currently lists the Perth Consulate’s jurisdiction as Western Australia, Queensland, New South Wales and the Northern Territory.
This is a wider consular district than the Perth location alone might suggest. Residents of the listed states and territory can therefore contact the Perth post for appropriate Tanzanian consular guidance.
Tanzania also maintains honorary consulates in Adelaide, serving South Australia, and Melbourne, serving Victoria and Tasmania.
Jurisdiction matters: because Tanzania’s Australian honorary consular districts overlap geographically with cities where other honorary posts operate, check the current DFAT designation and contact the appropriate office before submitting documents.
Planning your visit
Before visiting the Tanzanian Consulate
