Visiting and hours
The Australian Embassy in Beijing provides consular services for Australian nationals throughout mainland China. Routine passport renewals are typically handled online through the Australian Passport Office; the Embassy assists with emergency travel documents and situations where online processing is not available.
Appointments are required for in-person services; book via the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) online portal. The compound is in Chaoyang's diplomatic area. For genuine emergencies outside business hours, the emergency contact number goes to the 24-hour consular emergency centre in Canberra (+61-2-6261-3305). Australian nationals are encouraged to register travel via the Smartraveller registration system.
