The social media was abuzz with rumours for the last few weeks that the fee for machine readable passports is going to be increased in the days to come. However, the Interior Ministry has squashed all those rumors and have stated that there will be no change in fee for those passports.
The Spokesperson of Interior Ministry has clarified that all those posts on social media announcing the increase fee were unfounded and baseless.
They said, ‘The federal government has approved the issuance of e-passport but there has been no increase in the fee for machine-readable passports.’
The official also said that as of now there is no facility for getting an e-passport.
Recently, Directorate General Immigration & Passports has announced a certain fee for obtaining an e-passport. The news was misquoted by some people on social media where they said that the increase in fee is for all types of passports, which is not true.
