Mobiili passinmyöntöpiste saapuu Perthiin 30.1.2018
Passinhaku sujuu mobiililaitteen avulla lähes samalla tavoin kuin suurlähetystössäkin. Maksua emme kuitenkaan ota vastaan passin haun yhteydessä, vaan maksun tulee olla suoritettuna suurlähetystön tilille etukäteen. Käteismaksulla passia ei myönnetä kenellekään. Selvitämme etukäteen kansalaisuusstatuksesi ja tulostamme hakemukset. Tämä vaatii paljon etukäteistyötä, joten ajanvaraukset on syytä tehdä hyvissä ajoin.

Mobile passport station arrives in Perth 30.1.2018
Applying for a passport with the mobile passport station is similar to the process of applying for a passport at our Embassy. However, the customer must pay for their passport via bank transfer before their appointment in an issuing location. Under no circumstances are we able to receive cash payments. We check your citizenship status beforehand and print the applications. This requires a lot of prior work from the Embassy – please book your appointments early enough.
