Record Number of Pakistanis Flock to Passport Offices Amidst Soaring Overseas Travel Aspirations
Passport offices across Pakistan are witnessing an extraordinary surge in citizens applying for passports, driven by an overwhelming desire to travel abroad. With an astonishing daily turnout of 40,000 people at these offices, authorities are grappling with the challenge of meeting this unprecedented demand.
Despite the surge, authorities are ensuring a stable issuance of passports for those planning international trips. The surge in applications over the past few months has prompted officials to introduce weekend operations – passport processing activities now run on both Saturdays and Sundays. This strategic move aims to expedite the processing of applications and keep up with the growing demand.
While the surge in applications has posed challenges for passport processing staff due to the high volume of data, authorities are committed to maintaining the efficiency and integrity of the passport issuance system. As citizens continue to seek overseas travel opportunities in record numbers, authorities are working diligently to ensure timely delivery of passports while upholding the standards of the process.
In an extraordinary turn of events, Pakistanis are showcasing their eagerness to explore international horizons, prompting authorities to take steps to cater to their aspirations while managing the surge in demand.
