Frequently asked questions
Passports
What happens if my passport expires during this time?
There is no penalty for letting your passport expire. Renewing a passport is a personal choice, but you may not be able to leave Indonesia without a valid passport. If you do plan to travel or need a passport for another reason such as for a visa, or KITAS/ KITAP renewal, we encourage you to make an appointment to see us as soon as possible.
What if I need to travel unexpectedly due to an emergency?
Please apply for an emergency passport as soon as possible by following the instructions above. We can generally issue an emergency passport within 5 working days. If you need to travel more quickly, please call us to discuss your circumstances.
Will I lose Australian citizenship if my passport expires?
No. The status of your passport has no effect on your Australian citizenship.
Will I have to complete a longer application form if my passport expires?
It depends. Adults may have to complete a longer form if they wait longer than 3 years to renew their passport after it expires.
What if I am unable to travel to your office?
Please contact us to discuss your circumstances. If there is a reason that you need a passport but you are unable to visit us in person, you may be able to apply for a passport by mail.
