Estonians in Australia
During the last week of Novemeber and the first week of December 2009, Government officials from the Estonian Embassy in Tokyo will visit Australia on a mission to collect passport applications.
If you need to apply for your first passport, or renew your existing passport about to expire soon, or you have lost your only passport while visiting Australia, now is the time to get your supporting documentation in order. Please note that while in Australia, the Mission will be performing the following tasks only:
- checking (and help with re-writing of) the application form
- checking the supporting documentation (proof of citizenship)
- verifying applicant’s identity and signatures
- checking the format of the passport photo
- collecting the stamp duties (about 60AUD per adult passport)
- scanning the fingerprints of all applicants
Due to the limited time available, and the large number of applicants, the Mission will be UNABLE to provide any general help or individual consulting! If you need assistance with your pre-application process, please contact your nearest Estonian Honorary Consul, or the Embassy in Tokyo well in advance.
H.E. Peeter Miller, the Ambassador of Estonia in Tokyo, will be collecting Estonian passport applications and verifying on-site fingerprint scans according to the following, tentative schedule:
