Passport Issuance System Revised, Advance Booking Suspended

Date:

August 28, Colombo (LNW): The system of issuing passports by booking a time and date in advance has been suspended starting today. Minister of Public Security, Tiran Alles, announced that passports will now be issued on a first-come, first-served basis, with a daily limit of 750 passports.

This decision follows the large crowds that gathered outside the Immigration Department yesterday morning, causing significant inconvenience due to restrictions on passport issuance. The Department of Immigration and Emigration explained that these restrictions were necessary because of a limited supply of passport booklets.

The new system aims to streamline the process and better manage the high demand for passports.
