Good to know
Fee figures come from the Embassy schedule of fees, which is dated 9 March 2016, so amounts may have changed. Fee page shows 'as of 09 March 2016'. The Embassy passport page carries a notice dated 1 July 2026 on the Suva transfer. Postal lodgement of the application is not offered; the return envelope is only for the finished passport. Both the Embassy and Melbourne Consulate General fee pages (read 2026-10-24) still state the schedule is as of 9 March 2016, so fees may have changed.
