The Embassy of the Commonwealth of Hindia Belanda, Carigrad is the diplomatic mission of the Hindia Belandan sovereign to the Kingdom of Nikolia. It is situated at 46 Aleksandra Ivanovića street in Stari grad, the old city core of Carigrad. The mission is headed by Ambassador Pieter James Richard Doukan and consists of the chancery offices, a consular section, a Royal Union Citizen Services section and an Institut Hindia Belanda.
Hindia Belanda and Nikolia established diplomatic relations on 30 January 1930, five months after the former's independence from the Kingdom of Noordenstaat. The Hindia Belandan embassy to Nikolia was accredited the next year, on 18 January 1931 with Djoewana Hadikoesoemah as ambassador, and has occupied the current building ever since.
