DFAT index: Canadian Embassy in Tunis, see also Malta. The High Commission says Australia has no embassy or consulate in Tunisia and, by agreement, the Canadian Embassy provides consular assistance: Lot 2, rue de la Feuille d'Érable, Les Berges du Lac 2, 1053 Tunis. Tel +216 70 010 200. Fax +216 70 010 393. That Canadian post is not an Australian mission. Australians may also contact the High Commission in Malta.

The high commission is in Ta' Xbiex, not Valletta. The country brief prints Ta 'Xbiex Terrace, Ta 'Xbiex XBX 1034. The DFAT card prints Ta' Xbiex Terrace, TA' XBIEX, XBX 1034, telephone +356 21338 201 and fax +356 21344 059. The current site groups those same digits as +356 2133 8201 and +356 2134 4059. In-person client services are by appointment, Monday to Friday 09:00-12:00. The passport page says forms can be requested by phone from 8.30am to 4.00pm. The chancery number can transfer to the Consular Emergency Centre if the call is not answered. The visa page calls the post an embassy; the mission is a high commission. It is accredited to Tunisia. Australia has no embassy or consulate in Tunisia; the Canadian Embassy in Tunis provides consular assistance to Australians by agreement.
