Consulates In addition to the embassy in Moscow, the Australian Government also maintains consulates in Almaty, Kazakhstan, Saint Petersburg, Russia and Vladivostok, Russia, each with their own honorary consuls. The consulate in Almaty, Kazakhstan is located at Esentai Tower, 77/7 Al-Farabi Avenue, Almaty (Kazakh: Есентай мұнарасы, Әл-Фараби даңғылы, 77/7) and was originally established as an embassy to Kazakhstan in 1995. However, the embassy was closed in 1999 by the Australian government due to "resource constraints". The consulate in Saint Petersburg, Russia is located at 11 Moika Street, Saint Petersburg (Russian: Улица Мойки, 11). Its opening was announced in 2002 and it continues to provide consular support today. The consulate in Vladivostok, Russia is located at 42 Prospect Krasnogo Znameni, Vladivostok (Russian: проспект Красного Знамени, 42). These consulates are able to provide visa and passport processing as well as visa legitimisation, however, the services that the consulates may provide are limited in scope. As such, most notary services as well as passport applications are typically conducted through the Embassy in Moscow.
