Italian Consulate in Perth

Italy admits Australian citizens without a visa for stays of up to 90 days.

2025 figures: 405 short-stay Schengen visa applications were lodged at Italy’s consulate in Perth, and 403 visas were issued. 2 applications were refused, a refusal rate of 0.5%. That is barely different from 2024 (0.5%). The number of applications was almost unchanged (406 in 2024).

Over 2023–2025 the rate ranged from 0.5% (2023) to 0.5% (2025).

Italy issues Schengen visas at 6 locations in Australia; this office handled 11% of their 3,809 applications in 2025. Refusal rates elsewhere: Sydney 0.8%, Melbourne 2.4%, Adelaide 3.0% and Canberra 0.3%. Each office serves the applicants who live in its own consular district, so the rates also reflect who applies where, not only how strictly files are assessed.

Across all Schengen consulates in Australia, 3.0% of applications were refused in 2025; Italy’s rate worldwide was 10.8%. Italy received the 2nd largest number of applications of the 22 Schengen states represented here.

13.9% of the visas issued here were multiple-entry visas, valid for several trips. The statistics count applications, not people, and include every nationality that applies here, not only citizens of Australia.

For matters it cannot handle, the Italian embassy in Canberra is responsible. Besides the Italian consulate in Perth, Italy has 11 other missions in Australia. Consulates: Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Wollongong and Brisbane. Honorary consulates: Darwin, Hobart, Griffith and Cairns. Australia in turn has 3 missions in Italy, its embassy being in Rome.
