The Ministry of National Security has labeled as “rumours” that effective January 1, 2023, the fees for the E-Passport will be increased.
According to the Ministry of National Security, “it is unfortunate that such rumours would be circulating around the holiday season causing much panic and distress to the general public.”
“In light of this, the Ministry of National Security and Legal Affairs could like to clarify that the cost of passport application remains at $150.00 for adults and $75.00 for children under 16 years and there will be no increase in these costs as of January 1, 2023, as is being circulated,” the release stated.
It stated that the Ministry of National Security and Legal Affairs is constantly seeking to ensure proper service at the Immigration department and will continue to inform the public about the E-Passport as time progresses.
