RASC News Agency: Reliable sources have announced the beginning of the process of distributing passports to Afghanistani citizens in Pakistan and said that applicants with the necessary documents can go to the Afghanistan Embassy in Islamabad to obtain a passport.
The Afghanistan Embassy in Pakistan has not yet officially commented on the start of the process of distributing passports to Afghanistani citizens in Pakistan.
At the same time, sources from among the migrants confirm that the process of distributing passports to Afghanistani citizens has started a week ago.
According to sources, a large number of Afghanistani citizens visit the Afghanistan embassy in Islamabad every day to obtain passports.
According to the sources, 100 to 150 applicants get bio metrics every day, and this number is very small compared to the number of applicants for passports.
Meanwhile, Afghanistan International reporter Razia Mousawi, who went to the Afghanistan Embassy in Islamabad yesterday, says that the process of distributing passports started a week ago and so far, nearly 500 people have passed the bio metric process.
According to Razia’s report, children who were born in Pakistan and do not have passports are given priority in the distribution of passports.
It is said that applicants must first complete the passport application form and submit it to the Afghanistan embassy in Pakistan.
Sources have said that all procedures for obtaining a passport, including payment, are done in person, and the price of each passport in Pakistan is 120 dollars, equivalent to about 41 thousand Pakistani Rupees.
At the same time, obtaining passports for Afghanistani citizens inside Afghanistan has also become a problem, and Afghanistani citizens complain about the slowness of this process.
