Passport is an important document if you want to travel across the world. In Pakistan passport validity is for five year or 10 year after this time period. You have to renew your passport.
I am working in the NHS as a clinical fellow and visiting Pakistan these days, looking at the expiry date of my passport I decided to get it renewed.
Ways to renew your passport:
- online passport renewal
- from passport office
- from UK
I decided to get renewed from the passport office as I was querying about the process the difficulties which people are facing these days. So I searched for the desired documents online, paid urgent passport renewal fee in national bank of Pakistan, God two photocopies of my ID card, one Photocopy of my wife and one photocopy of either of my parents.
When I went there in the passport office I was told that passport is not gonna come in the mention time that was 21 days for the normal fee, seven days for urgent fee. And I was told if you want your passport in your hand within three days then you have to go for the e-passport. And free for this passport is 15,000 Pakistani rupees. I got this passport in few days and now I can use it.
Benefits of e-passport:
If you are on airport, there is no need to be in in queue to get your passport stamped you have to do what straightaway go in the e-gate and scan your passport and that’s it.
e-gates are available all over the world’s airports but in Pakistan only Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi airport have this facility.
Apart from all this in this video I have discussed about all the requirements including documents for passport renewal, fee of passport renewal in Pakistan and step-by-step process of passport renewal in Pakistan is discussed.
