The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced that all passport applications left incomplete for more than two months after initial submission will automatically be cancelled.
In a public notice issued on May 15, the Ministry explained that incomplete applications include those requiring additional vetting, missing supporting documents, incomplete biometric capture, or pending biometric re-capture procedures.
According to the Ministry, applicants affected by the directive will be required to restart the entire passport application process, including the payment of new processing fees, as fees already paid will not be refunded.
“Fees paid in respect of such applications are non-refundable,” the Ministry stated.
