Good to know
Source is the Ministry of International Affairs generic consular-services page (no date shown); it describes Botswana missions generally, not the Canberra High Commission specifically. Passport and Omang fee amounts are not published there; fees are paid into the Mission's bank account with proof attached. The Department of Immigration page (gov.bw, no date) lists domestic fees of BWP 260 adults and BWP 100 minors plus a BWP 1,000 penalty for lost passports, but gives no steps for applying through a mission, so mission fees are not confirmed.
