The Immigration Department has introduced the Passport Mobile Application Stations which will travel throughout the city between mid-July and early September for citizens to renew their expired or expiring passports. The department said the passport mobile application stations have been well received by the public since their launch. Citizens can handle their passport renewals at the seven Immigration branch offices in a self-service manner as well. At present, 168 countries and territories have granted visa-free access or visa-on-arrival to SAR passport holders. Some places require visitors to have a passport with validity of at least six months.
