Before you call:

• Virtually all the information on consular services has already been made available online on our websites (HCI Canberra; CGI Melbourne) and on the VFS website.
• Consulate does not provide information on status enquiry for various Consular services.
• Due to the high volume of calls, your calls may sometimes be on hold or unanswered. We apologize for any inconvenience caused due to this, and urge you to send an email at cons3[dot]melbourne[at]mea[dot]gov[dot]in
• Only e-mails pertaining to issues beyond the information available online will be answered.
• When writing to us, you must include your full name, postal address, and phone number. As Consulate receives a large volume of e-mail, we will not be able to answer e-mails that do not include such basic information.
• Please do not contact us with regards to status of your E-tourist visa, as these applications are directly processed in India. For these applications, kindly contact +91 11-24300666 or email at: indiatvoa[at]gov[dot]in
