Embassy of Nepal, Canberra, Australia

What Embassy of Nepal, Canberra, Australia does

The Embassy of Nepal in Canberra is the residential diplomatic mission of the Government of Nepal in Australia, established in March 2007 and formally inaugurated in September 2007, though Nepal-Australia diplomatic relations date back to February 15, 1960. It operates under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Nepal and serves two principal constituencies: approximately 122,515 Nepalese-born residents in Australia (per the 2021 Australian Census, up 124% in five years) requiring consular services, and Australian and international citizens requiring Nepali visas (38,789 Australian tourists visited Nepal in 2023). The mission is led by Ms. Tara Gautam as Chargé d'affaires a.i. with a team of 5, including two Second Secretaries and a Third Secretary handling consular affairs.

The embassy delivers eight core service lines: passport services (including e-passport pre-enrollment via the national emrtds.nepalpassport.gov.np portal), visa issuance (tourist, diplomatic, and official), power of attorney certification, document attestation and verification, Non-Resident Nepali (NRN) ID services, travel documents for repatriation, vital registration (birth and death), and translation plus death case repatriation assistance. The technology stack centers on Nepal's national e-Passport system, an online visa application portal at nepaliport.immigration.gov.np, and the Nepal ePassport mobile app for application status tracking. Pricing follows a unit-fee model in Australian Dollars with EFTPOS available (1.10% surcharge), ranging from AUD 5 for a standard power of attorney to AUD 200 for a 90-day multiple-entry visa; birth and death registration is free within 35 days of the event.

The embassy is government-funded through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' budgetary allocations, with consular fees serving as a minor cost-recovery offset rather than the primary funding source. Distribution is direct: in-person at the embassy by appointment (document submission 9:30am-12:30pm, collection 3:30pm-5pm) or by post, supported by the official website au.nepalembassy.gov.np. Strategic bilateral engagement is anchored by the Trade and Investment Framework Arrangement signed with Australia's DFAT on February 9, 2024, alongside re-established parliamentary friendship groups in both parliaments (February 2023 in Australia, October 2023 in Nepal).
